Creamy Vegan Hot Chocolate

Ingrediant brands are optional

Makes: 1 generous mug

Ingredients:

• ¾ cup coconut milk (from the can

  — shake it first for creaminess)

• ½ cup hot water (or more coconut milk if you want it extra rich)

• 1–1½ tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

• 1–2 tsp coconut palm sugar (to taste)

• Tiny pinch of salt (optional but highly recommended)

• Optional extras:

  • Splash of vanilla

  • Pinch of cinnamon or cardamom

  • A few shavings of dark vegan chocolate if you’re feeling fancy

Instructions:

1. Heat the water in a small saucepan, over medium-low heat. Don’t boil — just until steamy.

2. Mix the cocoa, coconut sugar, and coconut milk in a cup with a pinch of salt. Stir well to avoid clumps.

3. Add the heated water, taste, and adjust — more sugar if you want cozy-sweet, more cocoa if you want bold.

4. Finish & serve

Flavor Notes:

• The coconut milk + cocoa combo gives it a natural mocha depth.

• Coconut palm sugar adds that subtle caramel warmth instead of straight sweetness.

• Salt makes the chocolate taste more chocolatey — trust.

• Add vanilla or spices if using, give it one last stir, and pour your vegan hot chocolate into your favorite mug.
