RecipeIngredients
  • ½ cup coconut milk
  • ½ cup water
  • One 2 inch cinnamon stick
  • ⅛ to ¼ tsp ground ginger
  • pinch sea salt
  • 1 tbsp carob powder or raw cacao (use carob for AIP)
  • ½ tbsp maple syrup (use any keto approved sweetener for Keto)
  • ¼ tsp vanilla powder or extract (use powder for AIP) - optional
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • 1 tsp unflavored grass fed gelatin
  • extra coconut milk or coconut cream to drizzle on top
RecipeInstructions
  1. In a sauce pan, add all the ingredients except the coconut oil and gelatin. Let the mixture come to a simmer and then stir using a spoon while continuing to heat on low to mix the carob completely. Turn heat off and discard the cinnamon stick.
  2. Add the coconut oil and the gelatin and blend the mixture using a hand blender. (You can use a regular blender too but exercise caution when blending hot liquids)
  3. Transfer to a mug and drizzle the extra coconut milk/cream on top!
