Notes

  • *Dairy-free milk: any kind of milk, dairy or non-dairy, should work fine. And if you’ve ever been interested in making your own dairy-free milk, it’s easy and nearly effortless with JOI (which stands for Just One Ingredient). The almond and cashew bases are my favorites. If you’re thinking about trying JOI for homemade non-dairy milk or a number of other recipes on their website, I’d love it if you saved on your order with my code, SU10!
  • *1. You can also add everything to the pot at once and bring it to a simmer, it just takes a little more effort to fully mix the cocoa power in, but I’ve made it both ways and it turns out amazing either way!
  • This recipe can easily be halved, doubled, or tripled!
