Yield: Four 1-ounce servings
Prep time: about 3 minutes
Blend time: about 1 minute
½ cup water
Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon light agave nectar
4 packets monk fruit extract (such as Monk Fruit In The Raw)
3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon dark unsweetened cocoa powder (such as Hershey’s Special Dark)
¼ plus ⅛ teaspoon xanthan gum (see Tip below)
2 cups fresh halved strawberries, cut into bite-sized pieces
1. Add the water, salt, agave, monk fruit extract, and cocoa powder to a blender and blend on low until everything is incorporated, about 1 minute. Sprinkle the xanthan gum while blender is still running and blend until thick, about another minute, and turn off the blender.
2. Distribute ½ cup of strawberries each into 4 small bowls and evenly pour the sauce over each dish.
• The amount of xanthan gum may vary depending on the brand and how it was stored.
