Ingredients
- 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
- 0 for garnish Dairy-free whipped cream (optional)
- 0 for garnish Dark chocolate shavings (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder, maple syrup, and a small splash of almond milk to create a smooth paste. This prevents clumping when adding the rest of the milk.
Step 2
Gradually pour in the remaining almond milk while continuing to whisk until the mixture is fully combined.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir frequently to prevent the cocoa mixture from scorching at the bottom. Heat until steaming but do not boil, about 3-5 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more maple syrup, 1 teaspoon at a time.
Step 5
Pour the hot almond cocoa into two mugs, then top with dairy-free whipped cream and dark chocolate shavings, if desired.
Step 6
Serve immediately and enjoy your cozy vegan hot almond cocoa!
