Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 cups of plant-based milk plus more if needed
- 1 cup of dark chocolate (chips or shaved bar)
- 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon of instant coffee (optional)
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Whisk regularly to prevent the chocolate from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Occasionally whisking and scraping down the sides. The mixture will rise, if that happens too fast and is about to spill out of the pot, lower the heat more and give it a whisk.
- Once a creamy rich texture is achieved, turn off the heat, taste, and adjust the sweetness level.
- Remove the pot from the stove. Cover with a lid and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
- Enjoy hot.
Notes
- Use high-quality vegan chocolate: Make sure it’s real vegan chocolate made with cocoa butter and a flavor you like.
- Choose your plant milk carefully: Make sure it’s one you love the flavor of, and use a higher-fat, richer option (like coconut milk) for the creamiest results. A blend of coconut milk and other milk makes a great ‘in between’.
- For frothy dairy-free hot chocolate: This works best with barista-style milk, using a handheld ‘frother.’
