Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place all the ingredients — almond milk, coconut cream, chopped unsweetened baking chocolate, cocoa powder, and maple syrup — into a small saucepan.
- Heat Mixture: Cook over medium-low to medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes, whisking continuously to blend all ingredients and melt the chocolate. Make sure the mixture gets hot without boiling to maintain texture and flavor.
