Easy Vegan Hot Chocolate

by - 2/19/2019 12:00:00 AM




I have to be honest with you growing up I wasn't the biggest fan of chocolate. I mean. Not all, I vividly remember taking one bite of my chocolate Easter bunny and giving it away to family. When I would have hot chocolate. Which was very few and far between. I remember adding as many marshmallows as my parents would allow. These were back in the days when Wendy's only sold a frosty for a $1 and they were huge. Super chocolaty. I would order it because I loved ice cream, just didn't like the taste of chocolate by its self.
My, have the tables turned. I honestly drink this hot chocolate recipe on a daily basis. I think my obsession. Let's just call it that. Started in early fall. As you guys know I'm a huge fan of tea lattes and I think I was out of tea. I add cacao powder on hand and decided to make a vegan hot chocolate and I've been hooked ever since. I literally have been running out of nondairy milk like crazy all winter. I've tried this recipe with so many different kinds of nondairy milk that I've honestly have become a self-proclaimed vegan hot chocolate pro. If that's even a thing, smh. Depending on your palate, you may just prefer a regular hot chocolate. But I have to tell you a toasted coconut combination is out of this world. Trust me, well chat about this on a later date. Today I'm sharing with you again a recipe I love and use on a daily basis. Please feel free to sweeten to taste, and enjoy!


Recipe

Ingredients
  • 1 Tbsp maple syrup (or sweetener of your choice)
  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk (depending on the side of your mug)
  • 1 Tbsp cacao powder
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract 
  • Vegan whipped cream (optional, for topping)
Instructions
  1. Add almond milk add to a saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Once the milk is warm, add about 1/4 of the milk to the mug and add the cacao powder, and mix well. Add the sweetener, vanilla and the rest of the milk and mix well. 
  3. Add the vegan whipped topping and enjoy!

    I'm sure I'd love this. I enjoy hot chocolate, especially when it is chilly out. I don't drink coffee, so this is the warm drink I generally turn to.

    Hot chocolate is so easy and quick to make. To make it vegan using almond milk is a great substitute for those who eat vegan.

    This looks and sounds delicious!! I could go for a cup right now and sit by the fire - it's only 20 degrees outside. I'm a chocaholic and add a teaspoon of pure cocoa to my coffee every morning. So many health benefits!
