Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups non-dairy milk
- 4 squares vegan dark chocolate
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 3-4 drops peppermint extract, adjust depending on preference
- pinch salt, optional
Instructions
- Combine the ingredients: Add the non-dairy milk, dark chocolate, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and peppermint extract to a small saucepan over low-medium heat.
- Whisk continuously: Heat for about 8–10 minutes, whisking until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Be careful, don’t let it come to a boil!
- Serve and enjoy: Pour into mugs and add your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
Notes
- Keep the heat low: Slow and gentle heat = creamy, dreamy texture. Don’t let it boil!
- Whisk continuously: Creaminess is the goal here, so keep whisking to remove any clumps and make it as smooth as possible.
- Taste and adjust: Want it sweeter? Add more maple syrup. Want it extra minty? Add an extra drop or two of peppermint extract.
