CREAMY VEGAN HOT CHOCOLATE



Creamy Vegan Hot Chocolate image

For a vegan hot chocolate that rivals even the creamiest dairy-laden variety, add a few tablespoons of nut butter like almond, sunflower or peanut to the nondairy milk, chocolate chips and cocoa powder. Whisking is also essential here; nondairy products tend to contain stabilizers that keep them emulsified, so they can separate when boiled. If you keep whisking the mix as it heats and remove it from the stove when it's nice and steaming, but before it boils, you'll end up with perfectly smooth hot chocolate. Don't worry if it breaks: You can simply blend it with a whisk or immersion blender over low heat to bring it back together.

Time 5m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/3 cup vegan semisweet chocolate chips (about 2 ounces)
3 tablespoons vegan unsweetened cocoa powder
3 tablespoons creamy nut or seed butter, such as almond, sunflower or peanut
Pinch of kosher salt
1 1/2 to 2 cups unsweetened nut or grain milk, such as macadamia, walnut, almond, cashew, hazelnut, oat or rice milk
1 to 3 teaspoons granulated sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine chocolate chips, cocoa powder, nut butter, salt and 1/2 cup nut or grain milk in a small saucepan. Whisk over medium heat until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth, about 1 1/2 minutes.
  • Whisk in 1 cup nut or grain milk in a slow, steady stream, and continue whisking until cocoa is steaming, about 1 1/2 minutes. Don't let it come to a boil or the cocoa will separate.
  • Taste a spoonful. (Be careful: It's hot.) If you prefer a thinner hot cocoa, add up to 1/2 cup additional milk. If you prefer it sweeter, add a teaspoon of sugar at a time, tasting after each addition. Divide among cups and serve hot.

CREAMY PUMPKIN HOT CHOCOLATE (VEGAN)



Creamy Pumpkin Hot Chocolate (Vegan) image

Seeing the popularity of Recipe #395033, I decided to make up my own vegan hot chocolate recipe-- a perfect fall or winter drink! It has just the perfect consistency and warming flavor without being too sweet. Feel free to add a little sugar if you think it needs it. Soymilk might do fine for this recipe too but vanilla ricemilk is what I had on hand.

Categories     Beverages

Time 6m

Yield 1 cup, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup vanilla-flavored rice milk (approx)
2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
2 teaspoons cocoa powder
3 dashes pumpkin pie spice (a few shakes)

Steps:

  • STOVETOP: Whisk all the ingredients together and heat gently.
  • MICROWAVE: Put the pumpkin, cocoa powder, and spice in the bottom of the standard size mug first, mix together well. Pour on the vanilla ricemilk on until almost full then mix together, nuke it until hot. (Double recipe if using an extra tall or wide mug.).

Tips:

  • Choose the best pumpkin puree: For the best flavor, use fresh pumpkin puree. To make your own, simply roast a pumpkin until tender, then scoop out the flesh and blend until smooth.
  • Use good-quality chocolate: The chocolate is the star of this hot chocolate, so make sure to use a good-quality dark chocolate. Bittersweet or semisweet chocolate will work best.
  • Don't overheat the milk: When heating the milk, be careful not to overheat it. Scalded milk will have a cooked flavor and will not be as creamy.
  • Add spices to taste: The spices in this recipe are just a suggestion. Feel free to add more or less, depending on your preference. Some other spices that go well with pumpkin hot chocolate include cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  • Top with whipped cream or marshmallows: For an extra special treat, top your hot chocolate with whipped cream or marshmallows. You can also drizzle it with caramel sauce or chocolate syrup.

Conclusion:

This creamy pumpkin hot chocolate is the perfect drink to warm you up on a cold day. It's rich, creamy, and full of pumpkin flavor. Plus, it's vegan, so everyone can enjoy it. So next time you're looking for a cozy drink to enjoy, give this pumpkin hot chocolate a try. You won't be disappointed!
