Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 15 oz. full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 oz. dark chocolate
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Optional
- Turbinado sugar for mug rims
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee* for "dirty" hot chocolate
Instructions
- Place the coconut milk, almond milk, and dark chocolate in a medium saucepan set over medium/high heat. Using a whisk, continuously stir until all of the chocolate has melted.
- Once the chocolate has melted, add the remaining ingredients. Whisk until the hot chocolate begins to bubble.
