Instructions
- Whisk liquids and cocoa: In a bowl, whisk together the almond milk, dark cocoa powder, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt until you achieve a smooth and even mixture.

- Adding a dollop of yogurt can enhance creaminess and texture.
- Sprinkle toasted hazelnuts or almonds for added crunch and flavor contrast.
