Creamy Hot Chocolate (Dairy and Refined Sugar Free)

By Irene Shaver @hhwife
Hot chocolate is definitely a favorite here, especially after playing out in the snow.  In order to ensure a rich, creamy drink, we definitely prefer using homemade cashew milk.  This recipe definitely satisfies a hot chocolate craving and with all this snow, it is quickly becoming a "regular" thing.  
Ingredients (serves 4)
  • 3 cups unsweetened cashew milk
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons raw cocao or cocoa
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons honey, agave or palm sugar (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon gluten free vanilla or vanilla powder (optional)
  • pinch sea salt
  • pinch cayenne pepper

 Directions
  1. Combine all ingredients into a sauce pan.
  2. Slowly heat while stirring frequently ensuring not to burn the bottom.
  3. Enjoy hot, warm or even cold.
