I always loved hot chocolate as a kid, especially on a snow day in the winter! It reminds me of the bliss of being home from school and warming up after a long day of playing in the snow. Now that I’ve learned how to make homemade hot chocolate, the stuff I drank as a child doesn’t even compare. This recipe is packed with so much rich, chocolate flavor that you’ll never want to buy the store bought packets again 🙂
“Little Adapt”: Use 1/2 almond milk and 1/2 coconut milk. The coconut milk will give it a richer + creamier taste – trust me!
- 5 oz unsweetened almond milk
- 5 oz unsweetened coconut milk
- 1½ tbsp heaping tbsp unsweetened cacao powder
- 1½ tsp coconut sugar or ½ dropper of vanilla stevia
- Optional: 1 tsp raw cacao butter + vegan marshmallows for serving
- Pour dairy free milk into a small pot and start to heat on medium.
- After a few minutes, add in unsweetened cacao powder + coconut sugar (and raw cacao butter if using). Use a whisk to combine the ingredients as it continues to heat up until it is one consistent color and there is no clumps in the beverage. Feel free to taste test and add more cacao powder or coconut sugar if you want more sweetness or more chocolate flavor.
- Serve with marshmallows and enjoy!
