Luxurious Hot Cocoa

 Oh, this is so good it's giving me a headache.

Or maybe that's just the blood loss talking.

Yes, I slit open my finger on the coconut milk can. Good news is, I haven't broken any crockery for at least 48 hours.

I think that's a new personal best.

WARNING: If you are vegan, and haven't had any heavy chocolate for a long time, this might put you in a cocoa coma.

Heed my words.

Ingredients:

{3/4 cup} coconut milk

{3/4 cup} unsweetened soya milk

{1/4 cup} cocoa powder

Pinch sea salt

{3 tbsp} maple syrup

Garnishes: cacao nibs, vegan chocolate, vegan marshmallows. I didn't have any of these treats in my house; hence the naked hot chocolate.

Method:

Saucepan: heat up everything and whisk like a nutter. Serve and garnish.
