Servings: 4 cups
Ingredients
- 1 (13.5 ounce) can full fat coconut milk shaken
- 1 1/2 cups unsweetened dairy free milk

- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon almond extract optional
Instructions
- Heat the coconut milk and dairy free milk in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Once it’s warm, add the chopped dark chocolate, cocoa powder, pure maple syrup and salt and whisk together until melted and combined. Bring to a light boil then remove from the pot the heat and add the vanilla and almond extract.
- Carefully taste it and add more maple syrup if you want it sweeter. Serve with whipped cream or marshmallows. See the recipe post above for more topping ideas.

Notes
To make this recipe keto: swap out the maple syrup for 1-2 teaspoons of your favorite low carb sweetener, like stevia or monk fruit and swap out the dark chocolate baking bar for 1 more tablespoon of cocoa powder. Carbs in one serving: 4 g
