Healthy Hot Cocoa | Drink Recipe | The Ultimate Chef

YIELD: 2 SERVINGS

This hot cocoa will leave you feeling happy and healthy after sipping as it’s sweetened with date sugar and stevia, rather than the usual refined sugar mixture. I like this best made with unsweetened almond milk.

Directions

In a blender, combine the cocoa powder, date sugar, stevia, vanilla extract, and ½ cup almond milk.

Blend on high speed until very smooth, adding the additional ½ cup almond milk as it becomes more blended.

You should have a very thick, creamy, chocolate syrup.

Thin with a little more non-dairy milk until desired consistency and heat over medium heat, until warm, stirring constantly.

For an extra-special treat, top with Sweetened Whipped Coconut Cream, stevia version.

Serve immediately.
