- Carefully open and stir in the vanilla and peppermint.
- You may need to whisk a bit to remove any lumps of cocoa. If you have properly sifted and stirred the dry ingredients, you should not have to whisk much.

Notes
Extra creamy oat milk is my plant milk of choice. You can you any unsweetened plant milk you'd like.
Use the top creamy part from the can of coconut milk. Do not stir or mix before removing the coconut cream. You will remove 1 to 1 1/2 cups of coconut cream to use. Discard the clear coconut water.
The time to come to pressure is included in the prep time.
My preference for coffee would be brewed coffee. Instant coffee works as well too.
