  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for thickening)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Blend Ingredients

    In a blender, combine almond milk, coconut cream, maple syrup, vanilla extract, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, and cornstarch.

    Blend until smooth and creamy.
  2. Heat Mixture

    Pour the blended mixture into a saucepan over medium heat.
