Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ounce Dark chocolate (70% or higher), chopped
- 1.5 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of sea salt
- Optional: Coconut whipped cream or shaved dark chocolate for topping
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, heat the almond milk over medium-low heat until warm but not boiling, about 3-4 minutes.
Sift the cocoa powder into the warm almond milk to avoid clumps, then whisk vigorously until fully dissolved.
Add the chopped dark chocolate to the saucepan, stirring constantly until melted and smooth.
Stir in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and pinch of sea salt, adjusting sweetness to taste if desired.
Continue heating for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the hot chocolate is fully heated through (do not let it boil).
Pour the hot chocolate into mugs, and, if desired, top with coconut whipped cream or a sprinkle of shaved dark chocolate before serving.
Enjoy your guilt-free Sinless Dark Chocolate Hot Chocolate while it's still warm!
