5-Minute Vegan Hot Cocoa
My go-to, 5-minute vegan hot chocolate made with simple ingredients you always have on hand. Creamy, luxurious, and surprisingly healthy.
Servings 1
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 Tbsp dairy-free semisweet chocolate (chips or bar // chopped)
- Sweetener of choice (I prefer 1 Tbsp raw sugar or 1/2 packet powdered stevia per mug)
- 1/8 tsp peppermint extract (optional)
- Coconut whipped cream (optional // for topping)
Instructions
- Add almond milk to a large mug and microwave for 1 minute. Alternatively, add to a saucepan over medium heat.
- Once milk is warm, add cocoa powder, chocolate and sweetener and whisk to combine.
- Put back in microwave or continue cooking on stovetop until completely combined and has reached your preferred temperature.
- Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
- Lastly, add in your extract of choice – I think peppermint is truly unbeatable. Stir, and top with coconut whipped cream.

Notes
*Nutrition information is a rough estimate for one serving with stevia for sweetener and 1 1/2 Tbsp coconut whipped cream.
