This dairy-free hot cocoa is an easy sweet drink to make on a cold night. For dairy-free milk I like to use almond milk or coconut milk without additives or added sweetener.
This dairy-free hot cocoa is an easy sweet drink to make on a cold night. For dairy-free milk I like to use coconut milk without additives or added sweetener (I like this brand). You can adjust the honey depending on your preference. You will need an immersion blender to sufficiently blend the coconut oil with the liquid and to get the foam at the top.
