This is the best way to make vegan hot chocolate. This chocolate is perfect, thick, and with the perfect amount of sugar. Finish this hot chocolate with your favorite toppings.
Ingredients to make the best vegan homemade hot chocolate
- Milk. You can do it with any vegetable milk that you like or that you have at home. The one I like the most is almond milk.
- Chocolate. Look for dark, sugar-free chocolate. It is better if it is with cocoa (affiliate link) content above 60%.
- Cane sugar. It is better if you add it little by little until it tastes perfect for you. The amount I suggest in the recipe is just that, a suggestion. Don’t make the hot chocolate too sweet if you’re using whipped cream and mints to finish it up.
💡How to choose the best chocolate? • Normally the higher percentage of cocoa the chocolate you choose has, the closer it is to its natural state. And if you get it organic, even better. • As in everything you buy, the less ingredients you have the better. • Look for a chocolate that sugar is not the first ingredient. The less sugar you have, the better. • Buy a chocolate bar that contains fat from cocoa butter or coconut oil. Don't buy chocolates with hydrogenated fats.
