Ingredients

1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 Tbsp dairy-free semisweet chocolate ((chips or bar // chopped))
Sweetener of choice

Steps:

Add almond milk to a large mug and microwave for 1 minute. Alternatively, add to a saucepan over medium heat.
Once milk is warm, add cocoa powder, chocolate and sweetener and whisk to combine.
Put back in microwave or continue cooking on stovetop until completely combined and has reached your preferred temperature.
Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
Lastly, add in your extract of choice - I think peppermint is truly unbeatable. Stir, and top with coconut whipped cream.

Tips:

For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate with a higher cacao content (70% or higher).
If you don't have almond milk, you can use another type of plant-based milk, such as soy milk, oat milk, or cashew milk.
To make your hot chocolate even more decadent, add a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon on top.
If you're vegan, be sure to use vegan-friendly chocolate chips and marshmallows.
If you want a thicker hot chocolate, you can add a tablespoon of cornstarch or cocoa powder to the mixture before heating.
For a fun and festive touch, rim the mugs with crushed candy canes or sprinkles before pouring in the hot chocolate.
