Decadent Coconut Hot Chocolate
Rich, with a hint of coconut, this indulgent hot chocolate is a healthier option than the sugar-laden versions you get in coffee shops. The perfect treat to warm you up on chilly weekends.
Introduction
I’ve used both cacao powder and dark chocolate here for the ultimate chocolate hit – this hot chocolate is seriously rich! Thick and creamy, the coconut milk gives it a hint of lovely coconut flavour. Feel free to use another homemade nut milk instead of the almond milk if you like. This is a perfect weekend breakfast treat.
