Ingredients

• 1 cup Coconut milk (full-fat, canned)
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 3 ounces Dark chocolate (at least 70%, finely chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Pinch of sea salt
• 1 tablespoon Shredded coconut (for garnish, optional)
• 2 tablespoons Whipped coconut cream (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk and almond milk. Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk gently to ensure everything is well combined.

Step 2

Heat the milk mixture until it is warm but not boiling, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Lower the heat to medium-low and add the finely chopped dark chocolate. Whisk constantly until the chocolate has completely melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 4

Sift the cocoa powder into the saucepan to avoid clumps, then whisk until it is fully incorporated.

Step 5

Stir in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more maple syrup.

Step 6

Continue to heat the Cocolatte for another 2-3 minutes, whisking occasionally, until it thickens slightly and is steaming hot (do not let it boil).

Step 7

Pour the Cocolatte into two mugs. Optionally, top with whipped coconut cream and a sprinkle of shredded coconut for garnish.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your comforting, tropical-inspired treat!
