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

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:

Choose the right cocoa powder: Not all cocoa powders are created equal. For the best flavor, look for a cocoa powder that is labeled "unsweetened" and "natural." Avoid cocoa powders that contain added sugars or flavors.

Use a good quality milk: The type of milk you use will also affect the flavor of your hot cocoa. For a rich, creamy flavor, use whole milk or unsweetened almond milk. If you are vegan, you can use coconut milk or soy milk.

Sweeten it to your taste: The amount of sugar you add to your hot cocoa is a matter of personal preference. If you like your hot cocoa sweet, add a tablespoon or two of sugar or maple syrup. If you prefer a less sweet hot cocoa, you can omit the sugar altogether.

Add some spices: Spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger can add a warm, festive flavor to your hot cocoa. Add a pinch of each spice to your hot cocoa and stir to combine.

Top it with whipped cream or marshmallows: For a truly decadent hot cocoa, top it with whipped cream or marshmallows. You can also add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

With these tips, you can make a delicious vegan hot cocoa that is perfect for any occasion. So next time you're craving a warm, comforting drink, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
