Instructions

  1. Pour the almond milk and the cayenne pepper into a saucepan. Heat over medium heat on the stovetop for 1-2 minutes, until the liquid begins to simmer.
  2. Chop or break the dark chocolate bars into bite-sizes pieces, and add them to the hot almond milk.
  3. Stir and heat over medium heat for another 1-2 minutes, or until the chocolate bars have completely melted into the almond milk.
  4. Pour into your favorite mugs, and garnish with marshmallows or dairy-free whipped cream and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • You can use any type of nondairy milk that you have on hand! Unsweetened almond and cashew are the ones I generally keep at my house, so those are my favorites, but this would be delightful with full-fat coconut milk or anything else you might prefer.
  • If you do not want your hot chocolate to be spicy, add just a pinch of cayenne or omit completely.
  • Read the ingredients of your chocolate and your marshmallows to ensure they're both dairy free.
