Tomorrow is Christmas! One thing that has really put me into the holiday spirit is making festive drinks (or food) with my family. If you’re needing some Christmas cheer, then I highly recommend making this hot chocolate.
This drink is super easy to make, barely takes much time, and is SO much better making it yourself. It’s a lot richer and obviously more delicious, so you need to make this.
Ingredients:
- plant-based milk: almond
- chocolate chips
- coconut sugar
- cocoa powder
- salt: adds extra richness to the chocolate. I used sea salt
- extract: I used vanilla

Tips:
- Adding salt is optional, but highly recommended, as it makes the chocolate flavor much richer.
- Make sure to add the vanilla last. If you don’t, the vanilla flavor may evaporate while cooking.
