Starbucks Mocha Hot Chocolate
Whether you enjoy it plain or topped with whipped cream and chocolate shavings, this Mocha Hot Chocolate is perfect for warming up on a chilly day—just like your favorite Starbucks treat, but even better.
Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 4 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2-4 tbsp pure maple syrup or honey
- 2-4 tbsp dark chocolate chips
- 1 tsp teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Toppings:
- whipped cream
- chocolate shavings
- cocoa powder
- chocolate sauce
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the almond milk, cocoa powder, and maple syrup (or honey). Stir occasionally and heat until steaming hot but not boiling.
- Once the milk is warm, add the dark chocolate chips and whisk continuously until they melt and blend into the mixture, creating a smooth and luscious texture.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. This little touch enhances the chocolate flavor and gives the drink that extra warmth.
- Pour the mocha hot chocolate into two mugs. If you're feeling extra fancy, top it with whipped cream, a dusting of cocoa powder, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
- Grab a cozy blanket, take a sip, and enjoy your homemade Starbucks-style mocha hot chocolate.
