Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large whole eggs
  • 1/2 cup homemade coconut milk cooled and stirred
  • 1 tablespoon pure organic cocoa powder without sugar, starch or additives
  • 1/2 cup weak, freshly brewed black coffee cooled; not instant coffee or a coffee substitute
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon plain
  • 1 teaspoon homemade vanilla extract
  • raw honey to taste
  • 1 tablespoon plain, unflavored bovine gelatin optional; not collagen peptides
  • 1 tablespoon homemade ghee optional; omit for dairy-free
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil optional

Equipment

  • 1 Ninja BN801 blender for the cold mixture
  • 1 Small Le Creuset stainless saucepan
  • 1 Stainless whisk
  • 1 Food thermometer
  • 1 Measuring cup and spoons
  • 1 Heat-safe 16-ounce mug one per serving

Method
 

  1. Blend the whole eggs, cooled homemade coconut milk and cocoa powder in the Ninja BN801 until evenly chocolate-brown, with no dry cocoa patches or separate yolk or egg-white streaks.
  2. Pour into a small stainless saucepan. Whisk in the measured cooled coffee, cinnamon, homemade vanilla, honey to taste and optional gelatin. Sprinkle gelatin over the cool liquid and whisk until wet and distributed.

  3. Heat over medium heat while whisking frequently along the bottom and sides. Check the stirred drink with a food thermometer and remove the pan at 160°F. Do not boil, which can curdle the eggs.
  4. Off the heat, add the optional ghee and coconut oil. Whisk vigorously as they melt until smooth and uniform, without a separate oily ring. Keep hot liquid out of the Ninja.

Notes

Later Full GAPS: An occasional adult drink after digestive symptoms have gone and these ingredients are introduced and tolerated. Not an Introduction Diet recipe.
Coffee and cocoa: Use weak freshly brewed black coffee and pure organic cocoa without sugar, starch or additives. Instant coffee and coffee substitutes are not used.
Optional additions: Gelatin, ghee and coconut oil can each be omitted. Ghee replaces the original optional butter at the same tablespoon amount. Omit ghee for dairy-free. Gelatin firms the cooled drink.
Heat: Stop at 160°F before boiling. Time varies with starting temperature, burner and pan; no fixed heating time is specified.
Storage: Serve freshly made. Refrigerate leftovers promptly covered, then rewarm gently on the stove while stirring until fluid. Do not boil or microwave.
