Can I substitute the carob powder in this sauce?

Carob powder contributes a unique, naturally sweet, and slightly malty flavor that is key to this sauce's profile. While cacao powder is also used, replacing carob entirely would significantly alter the taste.

What makes this chocolate sauce oil-free?

This recipe achieves its creamy texture and richness using unsalted tahini and plant-based milks instead of added oils or butter, keeping it entirely oil-free.

How is this chocolate sauce sweetened without sugar?

The natural sweetness comes primarily from the carob powder and the 'naturally sweet non-dairy milk' specified in the ingredients, eliminating the need for added sugars.

Why is the non-dairy milk added gradually?

Adding the plant-based milk in stages, as directed, helps to thoroughly incorporate the dry ingredients and prevent lumps, ensuring a smooth and creamy sauce.

How should I store this oil-free chocolate sauce?

Store the prepared chocolate sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should remain fresh for several days, ready to drizzle over your favorite desserts.
