A festive, low sugar hot chocolate that tastes like Christmas and is super creamy! Easily made vegan by swapping the cow's milk for non-dairy milk. Adapted from this recipe.

Course: Christmas, Drink, Drinks, Winter
Servings: 6 people
Ingredients
  • 3 tbsp coconut oil
  • 8 tbsp cacao powder
  • 2 tbsp rice syrup
  • 4-8 tbsp xylitol, to taste
  • 3 cups (750ml) milk (non-dairy if vegan)
  • 1 tsp peppermint extract
  • whipped cream (coconut if vegan) to serve, (optional)
Instructions

  1. Add all the ingredients except the peppermint extract to a large saucepan and bring just to the boil, then simmer for 3-5 mins, whisking constantly. If it starts to creep up the pan, take it off the heat - it is done. Whisk in peppermint extract.

  2. Serve in mugs or bowls and top with whipped cream if desired.
