CREAMY VEGAN HOT CHOCOLATE



Creamy Vegan Hot Chocolate image

For a vegan hot chocolate that rivals even the creamiest dairy-laden variety, add a few tablespoons of nut butter like almond, sunflower or peanut to the nondairy milk, chocolate chips and cocoa powder. Whisking is also essential here; nondairy products tend to contain stabilizers that keep them emulsified, so they can separate when boiled. If you keep whisking the mix as it heats and remove it from the stove when it's nice and steaming, but before it boils, you'll end up with perfectly smooth hot chocolate. Don't worry if it breaks: You can simply blend it with a whisk or immersion blender over low heat to bring it back together.

Time 5m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/3 cup vegan semisweet chocolate chips (about 2 ounces)
3 tablespoons vegan unsweetened cocoa powder
3 tablespoons creamy nut or seed butter, such as almond, sunflower or peanut
Pinch of kosher salt
1 1/2 to 2 cups unsweetened nut or grain milk, such as macadamia, walnut, almond, cashew, hazelnut, oat or rice milk
1 to 3 teaspoons granulated sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine chocolate chips, cocoa powder, nut butter, salt and 1/2 cup nut or grain milk in a small saucepan. Whisk over medium heat until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth, about 1 1/2 minutes.
  • Whisk in 1 cup nut or grain milk in a slow, steady stream, and continue whisking until cocoa is steaming, about 1 1/2 minutes. Don't let it come to a boil or the cocoa will separate.
  • Taste a spoonful. (Be careful: It's hot.) If you prefer a thinner hot cocoa, add up to 1/2 cup additional milk. If you prefer it sweeter, add a teaspoon of sugar at a time, tasting after each addition. Divide among cups and serve hot.

CREAMY AND FROTHY VEGAN HOT COCOA



Creamy and Frothy Vegan Hot Cocoa image

This recipe intrigues me! A thick and creamy hot cocoa with a thick frothy foam on top, mimicking melted marshmallows. You will see a frothy foam form on top as you are mixing it. I recommend that you use Thai Kitchen's Pure Coconut Milk. It has no chemical additives or preservatives like some other brands. Placed here for safekeeping. From My Vegan Cookbook.

Time 15m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 cups soymilk
1/2 cup coconut milk (or almond milk, rice milk, or soy milk)
1/2 cup silken soft tofu
1/2 cup sugar or 1/3 cup agave nectar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup cocoa powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • You can make this two ways.
  • One is by placing all the ingredients into a large saucepan and with an immersion blender, blend everything together for 3 minutes. We want to whip air into it, so it's important to do it for at least 3 minutes.
  • If you don't happen to have an immersion blender, you can throw it all into a standing blender and do the same and then pour it into the saucepan. On Medium-high heat stir the cocoa until it almost comes to a boil. DO NOT boil the cocoa, it will change the consistency too much. Turn down to simmer and serve.

Tips:

  • Use good quality cocoa powder: The type of cocoa powder you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your hot cocoa. Look for a cocoa powder that is labeled "natural" or "unsweetened." This will ensure that your hot cocoa is not too sweet and has a rich, chocolatey flavor.
  • Add a pinch of salt: A pinch of salt can help to balance out the sweetness of the hot cocoa and make the flavor more complex.
  • Use your favorite milk: You can use any type of milk you like in your hot cocoa, including dairy milk, almond milk, soy milk, or coconut milk. If you are using a non-dairy milk, you may want to add a little bit of butter or coconut oil to give the hot cocoa a richer flavor.
  • Sweeten to taste: The amount of sugar or other sweetener you add to your hot cocoa is a matter of personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings: A dollop of whipped cream and a few chocolate shavings are the perfect finishing touch for a decadent cup of hot cocoa.

Conclusion:

This creamy vegan hot cocoa is the perfect way to warm up on a cold day. It is rich, chocolatey, and creamy, and it is also easy to make. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a delicious cup of hot cocoa in no time. So next time you are looking for a warm and comforting drink, give this creamy vegan hot cocoa a try.
