Vegan Hot Chocolate
Learn how to make the best 5-minute Vegan Hot Chocolate using just 5 simple ingredients! It’s rich, chocolatey, and you can customize the sweetness level for your taste preferences!
Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened dairy free milk
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1-3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 cup dairy free chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate bar
- tiny pinch of salt
- optional topping ideas: coconut whip cream, vegan marshmallows or shaved chocolate
Instructions
- In a medium pot, add the dairy free milk, unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon of sugar and chocolate chips.
- Turn the heat to medium, and whisk to combine as the mixture warms. The chocolate chips will slowly melt and it will become smooth and creamy. Do NOT bring the mixture to a boil, just heat and whisk until it’s warm and smooth, then remove from heat.
- Add a tiny pinch of salt and stir.
- Taste for sweetness; add 1-2 more tablespoons of brown sugar for a sweeter drink (I prefer it less sweet, but it’s easy to adjust and add more sugar for a sweeter option)
- Pour into mugs and top with coconut whip, or vegan marshmallows, if desired. Enjoy!
