Makes: Two 150 ml cups of hot chocolate   

Ingredients

  • 250 ml milk substitute of choice
  • 40-90 g vegan chocolate, broken into pieces
  • vegan chocolate shavings, to finish

Method

  1. IF USING A MILK FROTHER:
  2. Combine the milk substitute and chocolate in the milk frother jug and turn on the medium heat setting.
  3. Pause when the milk gets warm and give the mixture a quick stir with a spoon to ensure the chocolate is melting and not sticking to the sides.
  4. Continue to froth the mixture until the hot chocolate is smooth, velvety and textured.
  5. Pour into warm serving cups and top with chocolate shavings.
  6. IF USING A SAUCEPAN:
  7. Place the milk substitute into a small saucepan on medium heat and heat up the milk. Do not bring it to a boil.
  8. Take off the heat and add in the chocolate pieces.
  9. Stir to melt the chocolate and texture the hot chocolate with a milk froth wand or a whisk.
  10. Pour into warm serving cups and top with chocolate shavings.
  11. IF USING A COFFEE MACHINE STEAM WAND:
  12. Combine the milk substitute and chocolate in the jug.
  13. Steam and texture the hot chocolate using the coffee machine steam wand until smooth and velvety.
  14. Pour into warm serving cups and top with chocolate shavings.
  15. This hot chocolate is rich and decadent, lending itself perfectly to a variety of flavors: Mocha: Add two teaspoons of instant coffee to the milk. Extra Chocolate: Add one teaspoon of cocoa powder or a square of Lindt EXCELLENCE 95% Cocoa. Spice: Add a pinch of ground cinnamon, cardamom, turmeric, or a teaspoon of vanilla bean paste for a delicious, spiced hot chocolate. Orange: Grate the zest of half an orange into the milk for a zesty, delicious flavor combination. Peanut or Nut butter: For a richer nutty hot chocolate, add a tablespoon of peanut or your favorite nut butter to the milk. Rum: For a grown-up hot chocolate, add two caps of spiced rum to the hot chocolate.
