Nothing beats drinking a warm cup of hot chocolate (a classic vegan one no less) to ring in the holiday season. Smooth and creamy chocolatey goodness in a mug! This post includes 2 ways of making vegan hot chocolate, both easy and delicious!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first recipe is to make a rich and indulgent one directly in the mug (so no dishes!). And with the second recipe you\u2019ll see how simple it is to make your own homemade mix so you can have a cup ready in no time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These recipes could not be simpler. And even with their simplicity, they don\u2019t sacrifice on flavour. Cocoa powder intensifies the chocolate flavour while the dark chocolate makes it rich and creamier. You can also use chocolate chips, it will just result in a slightly thicker and maybe sweeter drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

All you\u2019ll need to do if you\u2019re making the first one is combine all the ingredients in your mug and heat it in the microwave, stirring occasionally, until everything is melted and smooth. It will look strange and lumpy initially, but don\u2019t worry it will all come together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And as mentioned, there are no dishes involved! Except the mug and teaspoons obviously. If you\u2019re making more than one portion, it\u2019s the same process but in a saucepan (sorry, that\u2019s where the \u201cno dishes\u201d stops).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once it\u2019s heated and creamy, you can top it with whatever you like. Vegan marshmallows, meringue, store-bought vegan whipped cream or homemade coconut whip, etc. I opted for some grated dark chocolate cause you can never have enough chocolate, let\u2019s be real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the homemade vegan hot chocolate mix, whisking all the ingredients together is all there is to it. Then you can store it in a jar indefinitely. As easy as that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019re ready for some liquid gold, combine 1 tbsp of the mix with 250g (1 cup) of hot plant based milk and stir until smooth. Then the same topping options apply. It tastes the same as any store-bought hot chocolate but without any additives or artificial flavours!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also makes for a great gift or stocking stuffer (or peace offering if you had a heated holiday season). This amount makes 8 mugs of hot chocolate but you can easily up the quantities to make as much mix as you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In both cases, you can customize your hot chocolate once it\u2019s made by adding some rhum, bourbon, vegan Baileys, peppermint extract, coffee, etc. You could even add coconut milk or store-bought vegan cream if you like it extra rich. Or perhaps some pumpkin pur\u00e9e to make a pumpkin hot chocolate? So many possibilities, have fun with it! And if you\u2019re not a chocolate person, maybe you\u2019ll prefer this caramel earl grey<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
