• 1 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 pinch Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine the carob powder, cornstarch, and salt.

Step 2

Slowly whisk in the milk to create a smooth mixture, ensuring no lumps remain.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken slightly, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the water and honey (or maple syrup) until well combined. Stir this mixture into the saucepan.

Step 5

Continue cooking the sauce, stirring frequently, for another 3-4 minutes until it reaches your desired consistency. Keep the heat medium-low to avoid scorching.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
