Instructions
Sift the cocoa powder into a small bowl. Mix in 1 tablespoon of hot water. Stir to form a smooth, pourable syrup. If you need to, add a little more hot water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until you get a consistency that's similar to chocolate syrup. Let this mixture sit for 1-2 minutes to allow the cocoa to fully hydrate.
After the cocoa slurry has rested, add a splash of almond milk and stir vigorously until the thinned mixture is smooth.
Pour the rest of the almond milk, the heavy cream, and the monk fruit sweetener into a glass. Stir to combine. Add the cocoa slurry and stir vigorously. You can use an immersion blender to get a nice, uniform consistency.
If you like your beverage really cold, chill the mixture in the fridge for 30 minutes or serve it over ice.
