"This is the most perfect beverage for cosying up on the sofa with on a cold winter's day or as a post long walk treat at the weekend or as a dessert huddled round the kitchen table.
Jess’s vegan hot cacao with almond & coconut
If you've ever been to Spain and enjoyed churros dunked in warm hot chocolate, then this hot chocolate recipe will remind you of this, though it's a much healthier experience! It's hard to believe there's no cream in this silky smooth drink and it's all down to the almond and coconut milk."
Ingredients:
- 300ml almond milk
- 400ml coconut milk (or make your own!)
- 4 tbsp graze cacao powder
- 5 medjool dates, pitted
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp graze vanilla seeds (optional)
- pinch Himalayan salt
- mini marshmallows (optional)
Instructions:
- Add all ingredients (except marshmallows) to a blender and blend until you have a smooth consistency and the dates have blended. Add more water if required to thin the mis slightly if you would like a thinner consistency (I like my hot chocolate quite thick).
- Warm gently in a saucepan until heated through, stirring occasionally to prevent any clumping.
- Pour into mugs, top with mini marshmallows and enjoy!
