There are many different kinds of love.

Obviously, not all kinds of love are the same {I love my family more than chocolate, I promise}ā¦but theyāre all worthy of celebrating {shoutout to fluffy slippers everywhere}!
My favorite thing about Valentineās Day is that itās about showing the people in your life how much you love them! I donāt know about you, but the way to my heart is through my stomachā¦and chocolate is most definitely my love language {can I get an amen}! This Paleo & Vegan Chocolate Fondue is the perfect recipe to make to show that special someone in your life just how much you care
I am in love with this dairy-free chocolate fondue recipe for like a million reasons!

How to make Vegan Chocolate Fondue
This Vegan Chocolate Fondue truly is a breeze to make.
1. Use a Vitamix
Simply toss most of the ingredients in the Vitamix and blend for 1 minute. This will heat up the wet ingredients just in time to add the chocolate and blend for 4 more minutes.
As the mixture continues to heat up, the chocolate will melt and the mixture will become velvety smooth! Once your fondue has reached a creamy consistency, add a splash of vanilla, pulse and serve!
2. What to dip in chocolate fondue
There are virtually endless possibilities of what you can dip in this Vegan & paleo Chocolate Fondue! Fresh fruit, marshmallows, brownies, pretzels, nuts {salted cashewsā¦I die}, angel food cake, potato chipsā¦seriously let your imagination {and taste buds} run wild!
Vegan Chocolate Fondue: Substitutions
As always I recommend making the recipe exactly as written for the best results, however here are a few thoughts on potential substitutions.
- Coconut Cream: I do not recommend substituting anything for the coconut cream {especially not low-fat coconut milk}! If youāve ever opened a can of coconut cream then you know that half of the mixture is solid and the other half is liquid. You need that consistency to create a super creamy fondue. The only other potential substitution could be a dairy-free half-and-half or heavy whipping cream {not vegan if you use dairy}!
- Granulated Sugar: Thereās a little more substitution wiggle room with your sweetener! You can use any granulated sugar {I have tried raw organic sugar and coconut sugar with great results}, maple syrup, or honey {not vegan}. The best results are achieved using granulated sugar!
- Chocolate Chips: Use any chopped chocolate or chip variety of your liking. My absolute favorites are Ghirardelli 60% dark chocolate chips. However, if you need an allergy-friendly chocolate try Enjoy Life. You can also use unsweetened baking chocolate {100% cocoa} in place of the chocolate chips, but you will need to increase the amount of sugar used {unless you like intense dark chocolate}! Most varieties of milk chocolate are not vegan, but you absolutely can use it if you donāt need to stick to a vegan diet.

Hi there,
Could I use some vegan chocolate instead of the chocolate chips?
