This vegan peppermint hot chocolate is the ultimate holiday drink! Made with dairy-free milk, dark chocolate, and a touch of maple syrup, it's creamy, rich, and perfectly minty. Ready in 10 minutes!
Combine the ingredients: Add the non-dairy milk, dark chocolate, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and peppermint extract to a small saucepan over low-medium heat.
Whisk continuously: Heat for about 8–10 minutes, whisking until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Be careful, don’t let it come to a boil!
Serve and enjoy: Pour into mugs and add your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
Notes
Keep the heat low: Slow and gentle heat = creamy, dreamy texture. Don’t let it boil!
Whisk continuously: Creaminess 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. Want it extra minty? Add an extra drop or two of peppermint extract.
