This Vegan Hot Chocolate Mix is rich, creamy, and SO easy to make with only 3 main ingredients! Simply add water or non-dairy milk, stir, and enjoy.

Ingredients

Scale

For the dry mix: 

  • 1 cup (85 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup (70 g) coconut or cane sugar*
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt 
  • Optional add-ins: 1 vanilla bean, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla powder and/or cinnamon, 1/8-1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper 

For one serving of cocoa: 

  • 2–3 tablespoons dry hot cocoa mix, above
  • 1 cup creamy non-dairy milk*
  • Vegan marshmallows, whip cream, or a cinnamon stick, to serve (optional)

Instructions

  1. For the dry mix: add all ingredients to a high speed blender and process on high for 30 seconds, until smooth and fluffy. Transfer the mixture to a sealable glass jar and store at room temperature for up to two months. 
  2. For one serving of cocoa: add 2 to 3 tablespoons of the dry mix to the bottom of a mug, depending on how rich you like your cocoa. Warm 1 cup of nondairy milk on the stovetop or in the microwave, then pour over the cocoa mix. Stir well with a spoon or handheld milk frother, then top as desired and enjoy warm.

Notes

  • Sugar Substitutes: you can use any type of granulated sweetener for this mix. Using 1/2 cup of sugar will make a moderately sweet cocoa; if you’d like it to be darker you can reduce to 1/3 cup of sweetener, or use up to 3/4 cup of sugar for a sweeter cocoa. 
  • Water Only: If you’d like to make a mix that you only need to add water do you can add up to ½ cup of powdered soy milk or coconut milk to the dry mix, then use ¼ cup of the dry mix per each cup of cocoa. I prefer to omit this and use non-dairy milk, as I find it to be much creamier.
