Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Dessert
Serves: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by measuring them precisely and setting them out on your workspace. Ensure the almond butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the almond butter and cocoa powder. Stir thoroughly using a whisk to create a smooth, uniform mixture without any dry powder clumps.
- Add maple syrup to the almond butter and cocoa mixture, whisking continuously to incorporate and create a glossy, consistent texture.
- Place the saucepan over low-medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning or sticking. Warm the mixture for approximately 3-4 minutes until it becomes slightly more fluid and well-combined.
- Fold in the raisins, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the sauce. The heat will help soften the raisins and release their natural sweetness.
- Remove the pan from heat and stir in vanilla extract and salt. Mix thoroughly to balance and enhance the flavors.
- Allow the sauce to cool for 2-3 minutes, during which it will naturally thicken. Transfer to a clean glass jar or serving container.
- Serve warm as a dessert topping or dipping sauce, or refrigerate for a firmer consistency. The sauce can be stored in an airtight container for up to one week.
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Ensure your almond butter is at room temperature for smooth mixing and even incorporation of ingredients.
- Whisk with Purpose: When combining almond butter and cocoa powder, whisk thoroughly to eliminate any dry powder clumps and create a silky texture.
- Low and Slow: Use low-medium heat to prevent burning and allow flavors to meld beautifully.
- Raisin Pro Tip: For extra softness, you can briefly soak the raisins in warm water before adding them to the sauce.
- Storage Hack: This sauce keeps well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week – if it lasts that long!
- Serving Suggestion: For the most luxurious experience, serve slightly warm for maximum flavor and drizzling potential.
- Customize: Feel free to experiment with different types of nut butters or sweeteners to make this recipe uniquely yours.
