Serves 2

  • 1 1/2 oz dark chocolate

  • 1–2 tbsp maple syrup or agave nectar

  1. Place the dark chocolate, coconut milk, non-dairy milk, desired syrup, vanilla bean, and sea salt in a saucepan and slowly bring to a simmer as you stir. Don’t allow the liquid to come to a boil, as this will impact the chocolate and cocoa powder flavor.
