Ingredients

Liquids

  • 1 13.5-oz (400 ml) can full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/3 cup plain unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Sweeteners and Flavorings

  • 4 tbsp coconut sugar or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch flaky sea salt

Chocolate

  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Heat the milk mixture: In a medium pot over medium heat, whisk together the coconut milk, almond milk, coconut sugar or maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and flaky sea salt. Heat the mixture until it comes to a gentle simmer, stirring gently to combine the ingredients well.
  2. Add chocolate and cocoa: Once the milk mixture is simmering, whisk in the cocoa powder and dark chocolate chips. Continue whisking until the chocolate melts completely and the mixture is smooth and glossy, creating a rich hot chocolate base.
  3. Finish with vanilla: Turn off the heat and stir in the pure vanilla extract to enhance the flavors and add a subtle aromatic note to the drink.
  4. Serve and garnish: Pour the hot chocolate into mugs and optionally top with a dollop of coconut cream and chocolate shavings for an extra indulgent touch.

Notes

  • Use full-fat coconut milk for the creamiest texture and richest flavor.
  • You can substitute coconut sugar with maple syrup or another natural sweetener of your choice.
  • Adjust the sweetness to taste by adding more or less sugar or syrup.
  • For an extra frothy texture, whisk vigorously just before serving.
  • Try garnishing with toasted coconut flakes or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor.
