Stovetop Instructions
- In a small pot, heat the almond milk and coconut cream over medium heat.
- Once the milk is starting to really warm up, whisk in the cacao powder, syrup, and vanilla until no clumps remain.
- You want the milk to heat but not boil so be patient! Once mixed, add in the peppermint.
- Heat a minute or two more until creamy looking without letting it burn.
- Remove from heat, top with more coconut cream or crushed candy caned, and enjoy!
In The Slow Cooker
- Pour the liquid ingredients into the slow cooker and whisk together.
- Whisk in the cacao powder. It will look clumpy and bubbly.
- Cook on low for 2-3 hours whisking every hour or so.
