Notes

  • You can top your hot cocoa with whipped coconut milk for an extra special treat! Chill a can of full-fat coconut milk overnight, then whip the hardened cream with a hand mixer until fluffy. Feel free to add a little maple syrup to sweeten it.
  • Make sure to stir your hot chocolate well so you don't find any clumps of cocoa powder in it.
  • Making your own nut milk is a great option when you're avoiding certain ingredients! I've made my own almond milk in the past and it is delicious.
  • If you can't find coconut sugar, you can add maple syrup to your hot cocoa instead.
