Prep Time5 minsCook Time12 minsTotal Time17 mins
Ingredients
 2 cups Sweetened Vanilla Almond Milk (or dairy-free milk of your choice)* If using a dairy-free milk without vanilla, add 1⁄4 tsp pure vanilla or peppermint extract. * If using unsweetened dairy-free milk, you may want to add 1 Tbsp. raw honey or maple syrup.
 2 tbsp Organic Cocoa Powder (Or Raw Cacao Powder)
 1 dash Cinnamon
 1 Can Full-Fat Coconut Milk
 1 tsp Vanilla Flavoring
Directions
1

Warm milk until hot, but not boiling. Simmer about 5 minutes.

2

Add cocoa powder and cinnamon then whisk to combine for about 2 minutes.

3

Simmer another 5 minutes or so, then serve immediately (with garnish if desired).

4

Garnish with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, grated chocolate, crumbled cookies, mint leaves, or anything you like!

5

To make the whipped cream, place a can of full-fat coconut milk in the refrigerator (upside down) and store overnight. This method will separate the liquids from the solids.

6

Place a medium bowl in the freezer and chill overnight as well.

7

The next day, open the can from the bottom and scoop out all the solid parts into the chilled bowl. Add vanilla. Using an electric or hand-held mixer, whip the solids on medium-high until combined and smooth. Use immediately.
