Ingredients
Liquid Base
- 3 cups oat milk
- 2 cups water
Chocolate Mixture
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 6 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
- ¼ cup maple syrup (or agave)
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- pinch sea salt
Toppings (optional)
- marshmallows or whipped cream
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large saucepan, mix together the oat milk, water, cocoa powder, chopped dark chocolate, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Whisk thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined to create a smooth base.
- Simmer Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Whisk frequently during this stage to prevent the chocolate from sticking to the bottom and avoid scorching, ensuring the chocolate melts evenly and the drink becomes smooth and creamy.
- Serve Hot Chocolate: Once the chocolate is fully melted and the hot chocolate is steaming hot and smooth, carefully ladle it into mugs. Optionally, top with marshmallows or whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat. Serve immediately and enjoy the comforting warmth.
Notes
- Milk Options: You can substitute oat milk with regular milk—whole, 2%, or low fat—for a different taste and texture.
- Lactose-Free: For a lactose-free version, use a lactose-free chocolate variety to keep this hot chocolate suitable for sensitive diets without sacrificing flavor.
