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
  1. In a small saucepan dissolve arrowroot powder in coconut milk on low heat. Stir vigorously to be sure the powder is fully dissolved.
  2. Add vanilla and whisk until milk is dissolved to liquid.
  3. 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.
  4. Serve hot in 2 ounce cups (espresso cups work well). See below for serving suggestion.
