Ingredients
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (12 ounce bag)
- ½ cup full fat coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- Pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons cacao powder or cocoa powder
Instructions
- Pour coconut milk in a saucepan on stovetop. Place chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl and place over coconut milk. This will act as a double boiler (or use a double boiler if you have one). Heat on medium heat until coconut milk comes to a simmer, and chocolate chips are melted slightly.
