Ingredients

  • 2 cups oatmilk* any non dairy milk
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • cup brown sugar
  • dash salt
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Take a small saucepan and add the unsweetened cocoa powder and brown sugar with a whisk until incorporated. Then slowly add the non dairy milk while whisking. You will end up with what looks like a chocolate mess on the top, but don't panic! It will mix in nicely. 
  • Cook on medium heat for a few minutes until smooth and warm. Remove from heat, add vanilla and salt, and stir. Once cooled, it is ready to enjoy.

Notes

**Make sure you let this come to a comfortable room temperature before consuming; things can get pretty hot on the stove.
Storing- If you have leftovers, you can place the hot chocolate in a cup or mug with plastic wrap over the top firmly covered and place it in the refrigerator. This will last up to 4 days.
Reheating-
Microwave- You can reheat in the microwave for 1 minute to a minute thirty.
Stove- Or you can reheat at low heat on the stove if you would prefer.
Toppings-
  • vegan marshmallows
  • vegan whipping cream
  • vegan chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips
  • pinch of cinnamon
  • sprinkles
  • candy canes
  • whatever you like on your vegan hot chocolate
Tips and Tricks- 
    • Be very careful when you drink it off the stove; you don't want to burn your tongue.
    • It's best to sift the cocoa powder if you can to limit the amount of chunks you have to smooth out with a whisk.
    • If this sits for too long, it can get a thickness to the top, just stir it, and it will blend right back in.
