Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
To create your spicy vegan hot fudge, follow these simple steps:
Begin by scooping the flesh of the ripe avocado into a blender or food processor. Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, maple syrup, almond milk, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
Once you have a smooth mixture, sprinkle in the cayenne pepper and cinnamon. Blend again briefly to incorporate the spices. Taste and adjust the heat or sweetness as desired—feel free to add more maple syrup for sweetness or more cayenne for a spicier kick!
Transfer the hot fudge to a small saucepan and heat over low heat, stirring constantly until warmed through. This will enhance the flavors and make it perfect for drizzling over desserts.
Serve warm over your favorite vegan ice cream, pancakes, or brownies. Don’t forget to top with your choice of chopped nuts, coconut flakes, or a dollop of vegan whipped cream for an extra treat!
Enjoy your decadent and unconventional spicy vegan hot fudge that redefines dessert indulgence!
