Ingredients
Hot Chocolate Base
- 1 1/3 cups nut milk of your choice
- 1 1/2 tablespoons raw cashew nuts
- 1 medium Medjool date, pitted
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 scoops chocolate collagen protein powder
- a pinch sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract optional for extra flavor
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a saucepan, combine the nut milk, cashews, pitted date, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and sea salt. Heat over medium-low while whisking, allowing the mixture to warm through for about 5 minutes without boiling.
- Transfer the warm mixture to a high-speed blender. Add the chocolate collagen protein powder and vanilla extract, then blend on high until smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds.
- Pour the hot chocolate into your favorite mug, and as a final touch, add any desired toppings like whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Notes
For a cozy touch, try garnishing with a dash of nutmeg or a sprinkle of cocoa on top. This hot chocolate can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and gently reheated for a quick treat!
