Italian-Style Hot Chocolate
Ingredients
- 1.5 cup Dairy Free Chocolate Chips I use Enjoy Life which contains sugar so for strict paleo you may also use 1.5 bar bittersweet chocolate with 1/3 cup coconut palm sugar or maple sugar
- 1 can coconut milk full fat
- 1 tsp arrowroot powder
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch sea salt
Servings: people
Instructions
- In a small saucepan dissolve arrowroot powder in coconut milk on low heat. Stir vigorously to be sure the powder is fully dissolved.
- Add vanilla and whisk until milk is dissolved to liquid.
- Add chocolate chunks and lower the heat to lowest setting or "melt". Stir often with a spoon so the chocolate chunks don't get stuck in the whisk. Keep an eye on it to make sure the chocolate melts evenly. About 10-15 minutes. Add salt and cinnamon and whisk evenly.
- Serve hot in 2 ounce cups (espresso cups work well). See below for serving suggestion.
