Hot Chocolate (V, GF)
A luxurious and thick vegan hot chocolate for cold days when you want to indulge yourself with a cozy warm drink.
Ingredients
- 240 ml (1 cup) evaporated coconut milk
- 3/4 tsp arrowroot or cornstarch powder
- 30 g sweetened condensed coconut milk
- 1/4 tsp vanilla powder
- a pinch of salt
- 30 g Lindt 70 % chocolate
Optional toppings:
- whipped plant based cream
- grated chocolate
Instructions
- Pour evaporated coconut milk in a pot.
- In a small cup put arrowroot or constrach powder. Take 1/2 tbsp of evaporated coconut milk from a pot and add it to the starch. Mix together until you get a slurry. Then pour the slurry back to the rest of evaporated coconut milk.
- Add to the pot also condensed coconut milk, vanilla and salt.
- Put the pot on the stove and heat it until it starts boiling. Leave it to boil for a few seconds, then turn the heat to low.
- Add chocolate to the pot and leave it to melt. Mix well together with a spoon.
- Turn off the heat and pour hot chocolate into a mug. The mixture will thicken as it cools.
- Decorate with plant based whipped cream (wait for the hot chocolate to cool a little bit before doing that if you don't want the whipped cream to melt) and grated chocolate if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
*If you want to use your own sweetener you can replace sweetened condensed coconut milk with 1/2 tbsp maple syrup and add more evaporated coconut milk, about 1 tbsp more.
