My Favorite Hot Chocolate
This is hands down My Favorite Hot Chocolate... It's easy to make, milk-free and is creamy, satisfying and not too sweet.
Servings: 1
Calories: 158kcal
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups Almond Milk
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Cocoa Powder, unsweetened
- 2 tablespoons Coconut Sugar
- 1/4 tsp Cinnamon, ground
- 1/8 tsp Sea Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
- Whipped Cream, for serving
- Shaved Chocolate for garnish, optional
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, add the almond and turn the burner on medium high heat.
- Add the cocoa powder, coconut sugar, cinnamon and sea salt
- Whisk the ingredients together to combine, continuing to heat on medium high the mixture heats through. It'll be smooth and a bit frothy.
- Remove from heat and add the vanilla extract, whisk to combine. Pour into a mug and add whipped cream or marshmallows and shaved chocolate, if you like.
Notes
- Use plain, vanilla or toasted coconut almond milk.
- Regular milk is fine to use too.
- Add more coconut sugar if you like it sweeter, just start with adding 1/2 teaspoon at a time to taste.
- I use a non-dairy natural whipped topping that's usually available in the freezer section of well-stocked grocery stores.
