Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups of almond milk (590ml)
  • 2 tablespoon of raw cocoa/cacao butter (28g)
  • tablespoon of cashew nuts (15g)
  • 3 tablespoon maple syrup (60g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla (4g)
  • teaspoon nutmeg (0.25g)
  • ** vegan cream/marshmallows for topping

Instructions

  • Combine the cashew nuts and almond milk into a blender and blitz into a smooth consistency.
  • On medium heat, add the almond milk to a medium sized saucepan and heat through for about 2 minutes.
  • Once heated, reduce the heat to medium-low, add the cacao butter and stir to melt.
  • Once melted, add the rest of the ingredients.
  • Continue to whisk for another 2-3 minutes.
  • To create froth, run the hot chocolate through the blender for 30 seconds (this is an optional step).
  • Serve with vegan whipped cream and vegan marshmallows.

Notes

  • I highly recommend using cashew nuts or adding a creamy cashew nut butter instead. This helps to balance out the taste of the hot chocolate.
  • You can use cacao butter or the cacao butter that looks like buttons. Either one is fine and will work.
  • Don't be tempted to boil the milk, you don't want to scold or burn the milk.
  • Chop the cacao into small-ish pieces as this will make it melt much quicker in the saucepan.
  • Any leftovers can be store in the refrigerator and re-heat in a saucepan or microwave for a few minutes.
  • If you want a frothy topping, be sure to transfer the white hot chocolate into the blender once it is heated through prior to serving.
