I was craving hot chocolate this evening and decided to try something different. Not wanting to make it with my vanilla soy milk, I googled coconut milk hot chocolate and quite a few links popped up! (Not to say I used any of them.) A lot of the recipes are vegan and I don't have all the ingredients necessary. So I made mine as simple as possible.
Ingredients
- 13.5 ounce can coconut milk
- 1/3 cup brown sugar (or to taste)
- 5 tbs cocoa powder
Heat up the coconut milk in a pan on medium heat but do not bring to a boil! Stir in sugar til dissolved and stir in cocoa powder til incorporated. It is very thick so be patient with mixing. Warm til desired temperature, pour into your favorite mug and enjoy!
The coconut milk gives it a very nice rich, creamy texture. If you like things sweeter, add more sugar or vice versa. I do not recommend drinking the whole thing by yourself as it is very rich.
