Hey yall! It’s national hot cocoa day, so I decided to share a healthy(-ish) alternative to the traditional hot chocolate. This is my favorite hot chocolate recipe, because it uses almond milk but is still super tasty. This recipe makes about 5 servings! I also included a single-serving recipe for those days you just want a little something sweet.
Almond Milk Hot Chocolate
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups Almond milk (1 qt.) (I like the sweetened vanilla kind, but you can also use original)
- 1/3 cup hot water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- Dash Himalayan pink salt & nutmeg or cinnamon (you can use regular salt, this stuff is just better in my opinion)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Mix sugar, cocoa, and salt in medium saucepan & stir in water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 2 minutes. Add milk & stir until hot. Remove from heat & add vanilla. Beat with a whisk until foamy, pour into mugs and enjoy!
-Almond Milk Hot Chocolate for One-
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 cup almond milk
- Dash Himalayan pink salt & nutmeg or cinnamon
Mix sugar, cocoa, and salt in large mug. Heat almond milk in a microwave for 1-1/2 minutes or until hot. Gradually add hot almond milk to cocoa mixture in mug, stirring until well blended. Stir in vanilla. DONE!
Hope you enjoy!
