Time to read: 5 mins | Time to make: 5 minutes | Yields: 2 servings
Ingredients
1.5 - 2 cups (360 - 480 ml) unsweetened almond milk
1/3 cup (60 g) dark chocolate chips
3 tablespoons (20 g) cocoa powder
3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
Pinch of salt
Method
Combine chocolate, cocoa powder, nut butter, salt, and 1/2 cup milk in a small saucepan. Whisk over medium heat until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth about 1.5 minutes.
Whisk in remaining milk in a slow, steady stream, and continue whisking until cocoa is steaming, about 1 1/2 minutes. Don’t let it come to a boil.
Carefully taste, and add more milk if you like it thinner, and if you like it sweeter, add a teaspoon or two of maple syrup.
Divide in 2 cups, serve hot and enjoy.
Notes
MILK: I usually end up using only 1.5 cups of milk (vs. 2 cups) since I like it to be thicker.
PEANUT BUTTER: I used creamy natural peanut butter like this one: click
