This all-in-one vanilla sauce makes the perfect sweet accompaniment for your low-carb treats. Add it to a bowlful of berries, slather on keto muffins, or add a little extra water and use it on keto cereal. You can even use it in smoothies for an extra dose of delicious fats.

Fat carries flavor — and this vanilla sauce packs every spoonful with wholesome fats from grass-fed butter and coconut butter. Vanilla adds a natural sweet flavor, while sunflower lecithin emulsifies the sauce and gives it a delicious nutty taste.

This vanilla sauce is Dave Asprey’s homemade recipe. Special thanks to Jordan Pie for the photos!

Dave’s Keto Coconut Vanilla Sauce

https://www.bulletproof.com/recipes/bulletproof-diet-recipes/vanilla-sauce-recipe/

Start to Finish: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

1 cup coconut butter
1/2 stick grass-fed butter
5 tablespoons powdered sunflower lecithin (stored in the fridge), or more for a thicker texture
1/4 cup birch xylitol, or more to taste
4 cups of hot water (not boiling)
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
Dash of salt

Instructions:

In a blender, mix half the water with all the coconut and butter until well blended.
Add remaining ingredients.
Blend thoroughly until vanilla sauce takes on an ultra-creamy texture.
Taste the sauce and add more vanilla or xylitol if desired.
Store in a glass jar in the refrigerator. Sauce will be runny the first day but harden overnight. Reblend again after chilling, if desired, if you find any lumps.

Recipe notes: By playing with the amount of water you use, the next morning you can get consistencies as stiff as cream cheese or sour cream all the way to whipped-cream-like. You can skip the vinegar but real milk has a very slight sour note, so if you skip the vinegar, you have less of a milk flavor and more of a coconut flavor.
