Yesterday while reading some of my favorite blogs I came across a delightful recipe for a hot chocolate from Kimi at The Nourishing Gourmet. As soon as I read the recipe I knew that is would taste delicious with my oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. I didn’t have all the ingredients that Kimi used so I had to modify it a lot. I made this while the rain was pouring down and my girls were contentedly making friendship bracelets in our dining hall. A perfect day for a hot drink!
Creamy Coconut Hot Cocoa
1 Can Whole Fat Coconut Milk
3 Cups Water
3 TBS Cocoa Powder
1/4 Cup Honey
1 tsp Vanilla
Bring the coconut milk and water to a low boil. Add the honey and slowly whisk in until it dissolves. Whisk in the cocoa powder one teaspoon at a time. Remove from the heat and add the vanilla. If you’re in the mood for mint add a few drops of peppermint oil. Best enjoyed on a rainy day in front of a warm fire with a good book!

This looks so rich!! Wonderful hit when the chocolate urge strikes. Thanks for sharing.
Coconut milk in hot chocolate?!?! Genius, I love it! Miriam@Meatless Meals For Meat Eaters
Laura, it is so good, you won’t regret trying it. It is also good made with raw milk instead of the water and coconut milk but I like the coconut milk much better. I’m the the one that bought your baskets buy the way! 🙂
Oh, I bet my children would love this hot chocolate recipe (who wouldn’t??). I’ve bookmarked it to give it a try next time. Got to go get some coconut milk…
Thanks for sharing with Dr. Laura’s Tasty Tuesday!
