This hot chocolate is rich, luxurious and thick. I make it with evaporated coconut milk and sweetened condensed coconut milk that don’t leave any coconut flavour but make this drink creamy and delicious.
For the chocolate I’m using Lindt 70 % which is the best quality in my opinion. Then I mix in arrowroot or cornstarch powder to thicken the chocolate. I decorate this indulgent drink with some plant based whipped cream and some grated chocolate.
