Method

Empty the can of coconut milk into a heavy bottom pan and gently heat to a simmers – reduce heat if necessary to avoid boiling.

Add 1 cup of almond milk and continue to heat.

Roughly chop the chocolate with a serrated knife.

Slowly add the chocolate, carefully stirring the whole time with a wooden spoon.

The warm chocolatey milk will start to thicken as the chocolate melts. (If you are a bonafide chocoholic, add an extra 3 oz (75 grams) of chocolate.)

Continually stir to avoid scorching.

When all chocolate melts stir for another 30 seconds then remove the pot from the heat.

Serve immediately in small cups – this thick and creamy hot chocolate is potently rich and reminiscent of Italian Cioccolata.
