This Spicy Vegan Hot Chocolate offers a luxurious, Mexican-inspired twist on the classic winter beverage, perfect for those following a plant-based diet or looking for a dairy-free alternative. Combining rich coconut milk and cashews creates a creamy base, while chili powder and cinnamon add a warming spice that complements the deep chocolate flavor. Quick and easy to prepare in a high-performance blender, this hot chocolate is not only deliciously indulgent but also naturally sweetened with maple syrup. It’s an ideal treat for cold winter nights, offering both comfort and a touch of sophistication to your hot beverage repertoire.
Just wanted to say that I make this hot chocolate all the time in the winter, and it is honestly the best hot chocolate I’ve ever made, vegan or not. I make it with homemade almond milk and it is just perfect.
You know the classic story of how Corn Flakes were created? They were an accidental porridge spill that dried overnight and became flakes. Well, something similar just happened with this recipe. We made too much (it’s REALLY rich), so we put it in the fridge overnight. When we checked on it in the morning, it had turned into the most perfect and decadent PUDDING! Coconut milk is a great natural thickener. We loved the hot chocolate but the pudding (which we ate immediately with a spoon) was out-of-this-world!
