Description

A luxurious hot chocolate that will warm the body and soul on a cold winter’s day.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups of almond milk
  • 3 Tbsp of natural cocoa powder (don’t use raw, because you’re heating it up anyway)
  • 2 Tbsp of turbanado sugar or maple syrup
  • 1 pinch of chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 pinch sea salt

Optional

  • 1 cup of coconut milk

Instructions

  1. Mix almond milk and cocoa powder in a small saucepan.
  2. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  3. Add sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and chili, all while whisking over heat.
  4. Keep whisking until hot chocolate is well blended and hot (2-3 minutes).
  5. Serve hot.

Optional

  1. Top off with coconut steamed milk. To make, heat up coconut milk in a small saucepan over medium heat. Then use an electric frother to froth the milk or place in a blender on high for 1 minute for the same effect.
  2. Pour the hot chocolate into mugs and top off with coconut steamed milk.
  3. Top with dark chocolate shavings, cinnamon or nutmeg.

Notes
