Provided by Kree6528

Categories     Beverages

Time 2m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 cups soymilk powder (I use Better Than Milk Light)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder (NOT hot cocoa mix)
1/8 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Combine powdered soymilk, sugar, cocoa and salt in large, airtight container.
  • For each serving, add 1/4 cup cocoa mixture into mug with 8 oz. boiling water; stir until well mixed.
  • Garnish with Cool Whip or other dairy-free whipped cream substitute, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality cocoa powder: Opt for unsweetened cocoa powder with a deep, rich flavor. Cacao powder, made from unroasted cocoa beans, offers a more intense taste and higher antioxidant content.
  • Use plant-based milk: For a dairy-free hot cocoa, use your favorite plant-based milk, such as almond, oat, coconut, or soy milk. Choose unsweetened varieties to control the sweetness of your drink.
  • Sweeten to taste: Adjust the sweetness of your hot cocoa by adding a natural sweetener like maple syrup, honey, or stevia. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Add spices for extra flavor: Enhance the flavor of your hot cocoa with spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom. A pinch of chili powder can add a subtle warmth.
  • Top with whipped coconut cream: For a decadent touch, top your hot cocoa with whipped coconut cream. Simply whip chilled coconut milk until stiff peaks form.

Conclusion:

Indulge in the comforting warmth of dairy-free hot cocoa, a delightful treat that caters to various dietary preferences. With its rich chocolatey flavor, customizable sweetness, and optional additions, this beverage offers a cozy and satisfying experience. Whether you prefer a classic recipe or one infused with unique spices and flavors, experimenting with different ingredients will lead you to your perfect cup of dairy-free hot cocoa.
