Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Combine Milk and Honey: In a small saucepan, mix unsweetened coconut milk with honey. Heat the mixture over medium heat.
  • Simmer and Add Cocoa: Once the milk starts to simmer (watch for small bubbles), remove the saucepan from the heat. Whisk in the unsweetened cocoa powder and vanilla extract. This step infuses the creamer with a rich chocolate flavor and the essence of vanilla.
  • Cool and Store: Allow the chocolate coffee creamer to cool down to room temperature. After cooling, pour the creamer into a jar or bottle for easy storage. This creamer can be stored in the refrigerator.
