This makes a rich, decadent dark hot cocoa. Feel free to use or omit spices to your liking…
IDEAS
Sea salt hot cocoa
Ginger hot cocoa
Cardamom-spiced hot cocoa
Cinnamon hot cocoa (no cayenne)
Directions
1Combine all ingredients into a small pot (except coconut cream) and heat to a gentle simmer. Stir while it’s warming up. ~4-5 min
2Transfer hot cocoa to a blender, add coconut cream, and blend for ~20 seconds (this blends up the dates and makes it cozy and creamy)
3BE CAREFUL when you open the lid of the blender as the hot liquid builds up pressure. I like to use a dish towel to open it slowly just in case.
4Transfer the delicious whipped cocoa to a mug you love, slow down, and enjoy!
