Freezing chill outside?
Here’s an amazing recipe for a guilt-free hot chocolate, a hot chocolate that is sugar-free and dairy-free, and best of all, it’s super easy to make.
This recipe uses almond milk. Although, you can use any non-dairy milk like hazelnut milk , hemp milk, oat milk, macadamia milk, soy milk or any other non-dairy milk variant. But I prefer almond milk since with almond milk the hot chocolate tastes richer.
Another important ingredient is natural sweetener. There are a variety of options available: date powder, maple sugar, coconut palmsugar, agave nectar, monk fruitsweetener and more. I prefer to use stevia leaves sweetener.
Other ingredients are commonly found in the pantry – cocoa powder. vanillaextract and salt.
Here’s the recipe that serves 2:
Ingredients:
· 2 cups almond milk
· 2 tsp stevia powder (or as per taste and the type of sweetner you are using)
· 2 tbsp cocoa powder
· ¼ tsp vanilla
· Pinch of salt
Directions:
· Pour the almond milk in a pan. Add the other ingredients and stir together.
· Heat over low heat, whisking continuously to keep it from burning.
· Once the mixture starts boiling, ladle it into cups and serve!
· Top it with marshmallows, whipped cream, chocolate syrup or a dash of cinnamon powder sprinkled on it.
And voila! Your cup of heaven is ready. Enjoy!
