Friends don’t let friends drink packaged hot cocoa.
I have always been a serious fan of hot chocolate. This creamy dairy-free hot chocolate is no exception. The neighborhood Starbucks and I were greatly acquainted back in the day when I was hooked on my daily hot chocolate. One of the things I miss the most is dairy and this version is out of this world creamy and ultra rich. Seriously guys, it’s decadent.
Add on those extra marshmallow and pop in a christmas movie you’ll be on cloud nine, at least, I was! This hot cocoa is naturally sweetened with dates and the depth of flavor is incredible. You have my word friends, this is delicious and simple to make. So make it for your family and friends this holiday season and beyond, because as I said before, friends don’t let friends drink packaged hot cocoa.
This recipe can be made either Paleo or AIP and is delicious both ways! I should know, I recipe tested both of them 😉
First, gather your 4 ingredients and prepare the marshmallows in advance if you want them.
Blend everything in a high speed blender for 1 minute and heat over medium heat until warmed through and enjoy this creamy and delicious dairy-free hot chocolate.
How can you not add those fluffy little marshmallows to the hot chocolate party?!
