Raw Cacao Hot Chocolate Recipe

Honestly, nothing hits the spot like a raw cacao hot chocolate when it’s cold out! Can we let you in on a secret? This is the best homemade hot chocolate you will ever make and ensure you never buy those sugar-filled pre mixes ever again! Seriously, this is in fact packed full of essential minerals, magnesium and antioxidants so really you could call it a health-food. Raw cacao is not only delicious, it also firmly falls into the category of superfoods, so you can drink a yummy warm snack or dessert while enjoying all the health benefits.

We love adding some added extras so if you’re feeling adventurous try some ginger for a bit of a kick, cinnamon, raw honey or if you are feeling like you need a real warm-up, add some fresh red chilli in, just remember to take it out before you drink it!

 What you will need (serves 2)

2 mugs of milk of your choice. Oat and almond are the creamiest but we also love coconut milk

2 tbsp raw cacao nibs or powder

¼ tsp vanilla essence

2 tsp maple syrup

Any flavours you wish to add or try it unsweetened

What to do

Warm through milk in a saucepan, over low heat

Mix in the raw cacao nibs or powder

Add vanilla and maple syrup, taste

Pour into mugs and enjoy!
