Yep, you read that right, this is a recipe for nourishing hot fudge sauce! Can you believe it? And I dare you to be able to taste the healthy! It totally tastes like regular, homemade, hot fudge sauce. Leave it in the fridge and let it firm up and you've also got a wonderful chocolate frosting!

Ingredients

1 cup of high quality, organic, whole milk
2 oz of unsweetened chocolate
1/2 cup pasture fed butter
2 -3 Tablespoons raw honey (depending on how sweet you want it)
1 teaspoon flax oil

Place the milk in a a medium sized pan. Using your smallest, most controllable burner, begin heating the milk on a medium setting, stirring often. When the milk starts really steaming, not boiling, not bubbling, turn the heat down so that it continues to steam well but does not boil. You will have to play with your burner to get this part right. Stir often to break up the layer of film that appears on top and to keep the steam going.  Continue to steam until the milk is reduced by half.

Add the butter, chocolate and honey. Stir well and remove from heat. Continue to stir while the mixture cools and thickens. When the mixture is warm enough to touch, add the flax oil. Stir well. Use right away as hot fudge or store in the fridge and use as icing or re-heat as fudge.

Now what makes this so nourishing. This recipe is made up almost entirely of power foods packed with a nutritious punch!

Butter - Excellent source of vitamins E and K.

Raw Honey - Harbors minerals, amino acids and antioxidants. Honey varies depending on the bees and your location but your honey probably includes a lot of the following: niacin, riboflavin and pantothenic acid; calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium and zinc!

Flax Oil - Choline (important for cellular health, fetal development and emotional health) and Thiamin for your nerve health.
