This amazing vegan chocolate sauce is not a newbie on my blog. On the contrary, it has been accompanying my pancakes for months now. However, I thought something as tasty and simple as this chocolate sauce deserves a separate blog post.
Watch a video (see below) and you’ll know that it actually is super quick and easy to make.
This is one of those recipes that just happened โI didnโt spend hours or days planning or experimenting to get it right. I just quickly mixed it together while baking another stack of my pancakes. I had a craving for chocolate sauce and threw a few ingredients in a small bowl and voilร !
The fact that this chocolate sauce recipe is oil-free doesnโt mean that itโs also low fat food as 45% of its calories still come from fat. So, itโs not the kind of dessert youโd spoon down at one go without any regrets. However, when you spread about 5 grams (which is enough in my opinion) onto one of my vegan oil-free pancakes, youโd only get 17% of calories from fat.
So, when eaten mindfully this chocolate sauce is a much-much healthier alternative to the commercial varieties that contain preservatives, added sugars and oils.
The sweetness of this chocolate sauce recipe exclusively comes from carob and plant milks and is just perfect for me. Should you not be used to natural sweetness, add a bit of sweetener (stevia or xylitol if you are on Candida diet) in the beginning and cut it down gradually as your taste buds adjust.
My quick and easy chocolate sauce is vegan, whole food plant-based, oil-free, sugar-free, and gluten-free as well as Candida diet friendly.

Tips my vegan chocolate sauce:
- Store in sealed container in fridge for up to a week.
- For different flavours, try using other nut/seed butters or a mixture of them, i.e. cashew, hazelnut, almond, peanut or even sunflower.
Can you use all cacao/cocoa instead of carob and some stevia and still have it be for anti-candida diet?
It depends on which stage you are at. If you can tolerate cacao, go ahead and sub the carob. If cacao still is not OK with you, sub it with carob. Stevia is fine on Candida diet.
