Place the nut milk, cocoa powder, coconut butter, vanilla, and honey in a saucepan. Stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a low boil, then remove from the heat. Add the chocolate and stir until the chocolate has melted. Garnish with a dusting of cocoa powder and, if desired, a dollop of whipped cream. Serve immediately.

(Reserve the coconut water for smoothies.) Place the cream in a mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer with a whisking attachment. Add 1 tablespoon honey and whisk until the coconut cream forms stiff peaks.
