This delicious and creamy homemade vegan hot chocolate will satisfy your chocolate cravings AND warm you up on a cold, winter day.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Plant-based milk I prefer oat or cashew in this recipe - but use your favorite!
- 2 tbsp Cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp Vegan chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp Sugar Organic sugar is always vegan. Add more or less to taste.
- ½ tsp Vanilla extract
Instructions
- Whisk to combine ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, making sure all ingredients are combined and chocolate is melted. Serve warm.
- Toppings: store-bought or homemade vegan whipped cream (check out this link for a yummy homemade vegan whipped cream!) or vegan marshmallows, shaved vegan dark chocolate or mini vegan chocolate chips, cacao or cocoa dusted on top, or sprinkle with a little cinnamon.
Notes
TIP: To prevent “lumps”, first whisk together the cacao or cocoa with the sugar and then VERY slowly whisk in a couple tablespoons of the plant-based milk at a time, until all is combined. Then add in chocolate chips and allow to fully melt. Don't forget to add in the vanilla extract. This method will allow you to break-up any lumps before adding the rest of the ingredients.
