Pour almond milk into a small saucepan and heat over medium to high heat.
Once warmed, add dark chocolate, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and a pinch of sea salt.
Use a whisk or handheld milk frother to mix until the cocoa powder is fully dissolved and well combined.
Keep heating and whisking the hot chocolate over medium to high heat until it's hot but not boiling. Make sure the dark chocolate melts and blends smoothly with the milk.
Once the hot chocolate is ready and steaming, serve it with your favorite whipped cream topping and savor every sip!
