Vegan Hot Chocolate

decadent, velvety vegan hot chocolate

Prep Time 2 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Rest Time 3 minutes
Servings 8

Ingredients

  • 4 cups oat milk (I used Elmhurst
)
  • 1 13.5 oz can of coconut milk
  • 6 ounces 70% dairy free dark chocolate chopped (I used Chocolove)
  • 1/2 cup Dutch process cocoa powder
 my favorite brand is Ghiradelli
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons coconut sugar you can add more if you want it sweeter or don't plan to top with whipped cream which will naturally sweeten it
  • 2 teaspoons espresso powder or instant coffee powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Optional toppings

  • vegan whipped cream I used "truwhip" which I found in the freezer section of my health food store
  • shaved dark chocolate

Instructions

  1. Add all the ingredients to a large heavy pot and heat on medium heat. Use a whisk frequently to make sure everything mixes evenly. Make sure to heat for a full 10 minutes so everything melts and it will thickens up nicely during that time.

  2. I suggest letting it rest for 5 minutes before serving so it doesn't burn your mouth :)

Optional toppings

  1. Top with whipped cream and shaved dark chocolate and enjoy!
