Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups non-dairy milk
- 2 tablespoons dark chocolate
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 whole cloves
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Combine the ingredients: Add all ingredients to a small saucepan and place over low-medium heat.
- Whisk continuously: Heat for about 8–10 minutes, whisking until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Be careful not to let it boil!
- Strain and serve: Remove the cinnamon stick and cloves, pour into mugs, and top with your favorite toppings. Sip and enjoy each warm and cozy sip!
Notes
- Keep the heat low: Slow and gentle heat = creamy, dreamy texture. Don't let it boil!
- Whisk continuously: Creamy hot chocolate is the goal here, so keep whisking to remove any clumps and make it as smooth as possible.
- Taste and adjust: Want it sweeter? Add more maple syrup. Love spice? Toss in an extra clove or dash of cinnamon. For me, this recipe is perfect as-is, but adjust to your preference!
