Notes
Use your milk of choice, whole milk or dairy-free milk work great. Almond milk and oat milk are the best dairy-free options we have tried.
Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: I haven't tried substituting cocoa powder with anything but I think raw cacao powder would work. Adding a pinch of salt gives this recipe some nice depth of flavor as well!
Maple Syrup -You can substitute maple syrup with honey or agave nectar.
