Equipment

  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Bone broth You can swap with more milk if desired.
  • 1/2 cup Dairy free milk Can use regular milk if you are not dairy free.
  • 2 tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder Use carob powder for AIP.
  • 2 tbsp Pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp Vanilla extract Omit for AIP.

Instructions

  • Step #1: Warm the liquids. In a small saucepan, add your bone broth and dairy-free milk. Warm over medium heat but don’t boil. If you are making multiple batches, use a large saucepan.
  • Step #2: Add the chocolate. Whisk in cocoa powder until fully dissolved. Stir in maple syrup, vanilla, and a pinch of salt.
