Sip Sip Hurray!
As bona fide chocolate fiends here at Serena Loves HQ, we take Hot Cocoa Day (December 13) very seriously. There’s nothing more enriching and soul-warming than sipping hot cocoa on a cold December day while cuddling with our fur babies, Gizmo and Jezebel.
If you’re looking for a vegan, dairy-free hot cocoa recipe, try this recipe. I guarantee it’s 100% decadent and delicious!
Ingredients:
• 2 C organic nut milk (almond, cashew or coconut, preferably homemade)
• 2 TB raw cacao powder
• 1/2 tsp raw organic coconut oil
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract or 1/4 tsp vanilla bean powder
• pinch sea salt
• pinch ground cinnamon
• 2 tsp pure maple syrup, grade A (or use 1/8 tsp stevia)
Directions:
Whisk to combine ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Serve warm.
OR
Combine all ingredients in a blender. Transfer mixture to a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Serve warm.
Toppings: coconut whip cream, shaved dark chocolate, cacao or cocoa dusted on top
Feel free up the notch on Hot Cocoa Day by combining our vegan, dairy-free hot cocoa with a chocolate-based facial mask. The same luscious layers of antioxidant flavonoids are just as good for your skin as they are in your tummy.
