GET THE RECIPE!

The secret behind this eco-friendly, vegan hot chocolate lies in just two high-quality ingredients:

  • Vegan chocolate drops – tiny chocolate chips that melt perfectly in warm milk, creating a smooth and creamy drink.

  • Deglet Nour dates – naturally sweet fruits that give the chocolate its velvety texture and deep, caramel-like flavor.

CLASSIC HOT CHOCOLATE

Our classic hot chocolate combines simple, natural ingredients for a pure and rich taste. Sweetened only with dates, this vegan drink has a smooth, creamy texture you can easily adjust to your liking. Perfect for a relaxing evening or a peaceful winter morning.

Ingredients for 4 cups:
– the contents of one large “Hot Chocolate” jar (220 g chocolate drops, 80 g dates)
– 640 ml of milk or plant-based drink (e.g. oat, soy, coconut)

For decoration:
– whipped cream or coconut cream
– raspberry crumble or freeze-dried raspberries
– a pinch of cinnamon or your favorite spices

How to prepare:

  1. Place the chocolate drops and dates in a saucepan, then add milk or a plant-based drink.

  2. Heat over medium heat, stirring gently so the chocolate doesn’t burn.

  3. When the drops are fully melted, blend the mixture until smooth and creamy.

  4. Heat for another minute or two until it thickens slightly.

  5. Pour into mugs and decorate with whipped cream, raspberry crumble, and a pinch of cinnamon.

Tips:
– For a thicker, dessert-like texture, use less liquid.
– For a lighter, drinkable version, add 100–150 ml more milk.
– Try adding a touch of peanut butter, chili, or orange zest for a unique twist.

VEGAN HOT CHOCOLATE WITH VANILLA MARSHMALLOWS

In a Thermomix:

1. Remove the marshmallows from the jar. Place the remaining ingredients in the Thermomix and add 250 ml of milk (800 ml for a large jar). For a milder taste, add 300–350 ml (1000–1300 ml for the large version). Adjust sweetness after blending if needed.

2. Set to 100°C, 3 minutes, speed 1 — be careful not to let it boil over. Meanwhile, cut the marshmallows into small pieces.

3. Blend everything until smooth and pour into a mug. Top with marshmallows.

In a saucepan:

1. Bring 250 ml of milk to a simmer with all the dates (800–1000 ml for the large jar). Reduce heat and cook for 5 minutes.

2. Add the chocolate drops and stir gently until melted and smooth.

3. Simmer for another 2 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the marshmallows into small pieces (and maybe snack on a few!).

4. Add a pinch of cinnamon, cardamom, or winter spice mix if desired.

5. Blend until silky smooth, pour into mugs, and top with marshmallows, whipped cream, or extra chocolate drops.

Enjoy your cozy moment!
