I go through some pretty intense phases with my diet. Some weeks I’m happy and more than content to eat nothing but salads, quinoa, and loads of veggies. But then other weeks, I just want to drizzle this Vegan Chocolate Syrup onto EVERYTHING. No complaints (because it’s DELICIOUS), but, maybe chocolate syrup for every meal isn’t a good idea the healthiest thing for me?
Either way, it’s very delightful on occasion! It hasn’t quite hit dreary-cold-gross-winter status yet in Nashville (at least for Nashville standards of “cold”) but once it does, I have a few dates scheduled with my favorite mint hot chocolate and this vegan chocolate syrup. Mmmm. I can’t wait for that! But for now, Nashville is supposed to hit a high of 75 degrees today (you will never hear me complain about this!).
So, until the cold, hot chocolate drinking weather hits, I’ll enjoy my chocolate sauce on a nice bowl of mint ice cream (<<<my favorite!).
Making the sauce is very easy. Basically just mix the first 3 ingredients together over the stove and then whisk in the cocoa powder. DONE!
Then just store it in the fridge for instant access to chocolaty vegan syrupy GOODNESS.
I personally like mine just a bit on the runny side but if you prefer it to be thicker, you can add a bit more cocoa powder and/ or a bit less of the milk.
And, I’m not here to tell you what to do with your chocolate syrup, but I plan to drizzle mine over some rather large (husband made) waffles this weekend. Yep! VERY much looking forward to that!
Happy hump day, friends! I hope it’s a good one :)

Looks good! Can I make this with runny agave syrup instead?
yes that would work!
I just made some of this sauce and it was delicious! thank you so much for the recipe :)
Fantastic!
Vegan chocolate sauce easily best around thank you.
so glad that you liked it!!
I just made it to flavor my coffee. It was delicious! What does the oil do? I made it without the oil and I thought it was fine.
What if i don’t put the coconut oil? Will it still work? Or is olive oil okay as a substitute.? What is another substitute for coconut oil. Other than that, this looks very good. Planning on making it. ((:
Good Vegan chocolate sauce, thanks, videos helpful and fast..

Leave in the fridge for a few hours and it sets. Great alternative to a dairy free chocolate pot or mousse.
yes! love this recipe. I need to make another batch soon!
I totally feel you on those weekly food-mood swings. I am also going through a sweets all-day every-day phase this week, so this chocolate syrup is what I neeeed. Love super simple recipes! xo
Glad to see I am NOT THE ONLY ONE. I’m thinking to myself “Why am I craving so many sweets EVERYDAY like this. Grrrr lol
