Italian Hot Chocolate (Dairy-Free)
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond or coconut milk, divided
- 1 ½ tsp arrowroot starch
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder sifted
- ½ cup chocolate chips I use Hu Kitchen, No Added Sugar - Discount code UNBOUND
- 2 tsp coconut sugar optional
Instructions
- Whisk the arrowroot starch with 1/4 cup of almond milk together in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Add the 1 3/4 cup milk to a small saucepan and heat over low heat.
- Once the milk is warm, add the cocoa powder and chocolate chips (and coconut sugar if desired). Stir to allow the chocolate to melt for about 2 minutes.
- Pour the arrowroot mixture into the pot and stir to combine until the hot chocolate thickens.
- Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly before pouring into a mug to enjoy.
Notes
- The hot chocolate is very rich on its own. Add coconut sugar if you'd like to sweeten it.
