This is the easiest vegan hot chocolate recipe ever and far and away better than anything from a packet. The key here is the chocolate. I like to find a really good quality vegan dark chocolate bar. Smash it up and use that. Vegan chocolate chips work well too.
If you're ready to make an event of it (and you should), check out our post on building the ultimate hot chocolate bar!

Sorry, I didn't notice this before. There is no cocoa in the ingredients list either. Did you decide to omit it also?
Well Vegan
Yeah 🙂 Sorry about that. I did this recipe shortly after my son was born. I was suffering from sleep deprived baby brain!

Your recipe for hot chocolate reads "Bring the soy milk, sugar, cocoa powder, salt, vanilla extract and cinnamon to a simmer..." However, sugar is not in the ingredients list. What amount should be used?
Thank you
Well Vegan
Doh! Thanks for that! I'll update the recipe. I ended up leaving the sugar out entirely. I thought it was sweet enough just with the chocolate.
