Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 cups Low-fat milk
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and water, whisking until smooth to create a slurry. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder and low-fat milk until smooth.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
Once the mixture is simmering, gradually add the cornstarch slurry while continuing to stir. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the creamer begins to thicken slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the creamer to cool for a few minutes.
Transfer the creamer to a jar or bottle and refrigerate for up to one week. Shake well before using.
Add to your favorite coffee, tea, or hot chocolate for a guilt-free chocolatey treat!
