You know those cozy rainy days, were you just wanna snuggle up on the couch with a blanket? I really embrace those days and a cup of vegan hot chocolate is the perfect companion.
This is super easy to make, made from scratch but still only takes a few minutes.
You can choose to use an easy instant vegan whipped cream from the can and spray it on top, or whip your own vegan whipped cream with some whip-able plant based cream. Not all plant based creamers can be whipped, so make sure you get the right one.
The added chili in this recipe is to enhance the flavour of the raw chocolate. Don’t be afraid that it’s gonna make it too spicy, it only adds that kick of flavour that the chocolate needs.
Even when this drink cools down it’s amazing, so you can make more if you like and refrigerate.
If you love heart warming drinks you mught also like the Vegan Vanilla Matcha Latte.
