The Best Vegan Hot Chocolate!

Name: The Best Vegan Hot Chocolate!
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 4 min
Total time: 9 min
Ingredients: One 13.5 oz can "lite" coconut milk (this truly is the best milk to make hot chocolate, I would advise against subbing as others I've tried were not good. Lite leaves NO coconut taste!); 2 tablespoons (12g) unsweetened cocoa powder; 3 heaping tablespoons (40g) semi-sweet dairy-free chocolate chips (I used Enjoy Life); 1-2 tablespoons (20g) maple syrup, depending on your sweet-o-meter, I did 2; 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract; 1/2 teaspoon ground espresso or instant coffee; 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt; Optional: whipped cream, shaved chocolate, marshmallows, etc.; I recommend Thai Kitchen brand for the lite coconut milk. It is amazing and always so smooth and creamy, not watery. Many brands can be rather watery and not smooth.

Step 1

Add all of the ingredients to a blender and blend for a few minutes on high until completely smooth and frothy.

Step 2

Add the mixture to a pot over medium heat. Once it begins to bubble, whisk continuously for about 4 minutes until well heated, the chocolate has completely melted and has thickened just a bit. You don't want to overcook it, or it will get too thick.

Step 3

I found this to be the perfect level of sweetness, but if you want yours a tad sweeter, add a little more maple syrup. Remove and pour into mugs and add whipped cream, shaved chocolate, marshmallows, cinnamon, etc. Enjoy!

Step 4

This makes enough for 2 mugs. If you are just wanting 1 serving, then place the rest in the fridge and when you are ready to use it, give it a good whisk and reheat on low.
