Ingredients

1 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoon pure maple syrup
3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
½ teaspoon pure peppermint extract

Instructions

Pour cream into a small saucepan and heat over medium-high heat until it begins to steam.
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add in the maple syrup and cocoa powder and whisk until both have dissolved and there are no lumps.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the peppermint extract. Give the whole thing a good stir. Add additional peppermint extract or maple syrup as desired.
Keep stored in a sealed glass jar in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

STORAGE: Once your peppermint chocolate sauce is ready, allow it to cook completely before transferring it to a glass mason jar with a lid.

Keep stored in the fridge for up to a week.

This can also be frozen for 1-2 months, but be sure to leave some space in your container for the cream to expand on freezing.

Once thawed, the texture might be a little different, but it will taste just as good.
