Coconut Milk Hot Chocolate

This coconut milk hot chocolate is rich and creamy! This delicious dairy-free treat is topped with coconut cream and dusted with cocoa powder.

We can’t have Christmas without hot chocolate. Coconut milk makes a perfect dairy-free alternative to milk in hot chocolate. It’s rich and creamy and balances well with the cocoa powder.

If you’re looking for a dairy-free hot chocolate recipe, give this one a try!

I made this for my kids the other night and they loved it! I topped some of the hot chocolates with whipped cream and others with marshmallows. Below is a photo of my daughter with her cup of hot chocolate. 🙂

How To Make Coconut Milk Hot Chocolate

Equipment Needed:

• Measuring cups
• Small Saucepan
• Whisk

You’ll also need these ingredients:

• 2 13.5 ounce cans of coconut milk (you can also make coconut milk yourself at home for an extra yummy treat)
• 1/4 cup chocolate chips
• 3 tablespoons organic cocoa powder
• 1/3 tablespoon vanilla extract

Step one: Open a can of full-fat coconut milk and scoop it into a small saucepan. Add in the cocoa powder and chocolate chips. I used stevia-sweetened chocolate chips, but regular chocolate works perfectly as well.

Step 2: Bring the coconut milk hot chocolate to a light simmer and remove from the heat. Add in vanilla extract and stir. Pour the cocoa into mugs and top with marshmallows, coconut whipped cream, or whatever topping you like.

This recipe makes enough to serve 4 people. You can easily double the recipe to serve more if needed.
