Peppermint and cocoa powder were meant for each other in my Truly Skinny Peppermint Mocha, a healthy take on your local coffee shop's seasonal favorite.
Simmer the coconut milk over medium heat until hot.
Carefully add the hot coconut milk, fresh coffee, cocoa powder, Lakanto sugar*, Lakanto maple syrup* and peppermint extract to a blender — or whisk vigorously by hand. Blend or whisk until the drink is rich and frothy.
Pour the peppermint mocha into 2 mugs and top with optional coconut whipped cream and mint.
Enjoy while hot. Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days then re-heat to serve.
*You can replace the sugar substitutes in this recipe with regular sugar, but it will no longer be sugar-free.
