Instructions
1
Begin by placing a small saucepan over very low heat. Add the almond butter and unrefined coconut oil to the pan, stirring occasionally until melted and well combined.

Once melted, remove the saucepan from the heat and add in the cocoa powder, heavy whipping cream, Truvia (or your preferred sugar substitute), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir the mixture until smooth and fully combined.
3
Carefully transfer the mixture into a pouring container or a measuring cup for easier pouring.
