- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 13.5 oz can coconut milk (regular or light)
- 1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2-3 tablespoons sugar (or maple syrup)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions

Notes
Use unsweetened almond milk to control sweetness. Regular or light coconut milk both work well. For dairy-free chocolate chips, try Enjoy Life or Tollhouse Simply Delicious. Add 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract for a peppermint variation.
