- 2 tbsp Maple syrup
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
- 0.25 tsp Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of water and stir until it forms a smooth paste. Set aside.
Step 2
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and set aside.
Step 3
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, pour in the coconut milk and add the maple syrup and salt.
