What's needed
Serves 1.
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
60 ml Pure Dark maple syrup
700 ml of warm water
60 ml full-fat coconut milk
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
Vegan whipped cream for decoration
Two steps
Blend
Hot water, cocoa, thick coconut milk, cinnamon, maple syrup, and salt: sixty seconds.
Serves
Pour into a mug and garnish with vegan whipped cream and a sprinkle of cocoa powder.
The salt is not a typo
Half a teaspoon helps the cocoa release its flavour; without it, the chocolate remains bland.
Use the thick part of the coconut milk, from the top of the can; this is what gives it body.
The ingredient
The variety used in this recipe. Dark, robust flavor: it withstands cooking and stands out in a mixture.
