We all know Hot Chocolate. We all love hot chocolate.
I am not going to go on about stuff today, because I am really tired. Instead I will show you pictures of my hot chocolate.
I have been going mad on the cashew milk lately, it is just so creamy that it makes everything velvety and amazing.
I had planned to do a giveaway today, but I haven’t organised it and as mentioned above, I am tired, and have also been sick this week. Hopefully I will get around to it in the next couple of days. Sit tight!
Also please note my mum’s beautiful mugs that I borrowed for a photo shoot. She has had these since I was little and they are my favourite.
Spiced Hot Chocolate
(serves 2)
2 1/2 cups cashew milk
1/4 cup dark chocolate, chopped
2 Tbsp cacao powder
2 Tbsp agave nectar
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
Dash of cayenne pepper
Marshmallows to serve (optional)
Place cashew milk in a small saucepan, then remove a couple of tablespoons of it and place it in a small bowl. Add cacao powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and cayenne. Whisk with a fork until the mix becomes a thick slurry, then add it back to the rest of the cashew milk. Stir in agave nectar and vanilla.
Heat saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until it comes to a gentle simmer. Remove from heat and add chocolate. Stir until combined. Pour into mugs and top with marshmallows.
I love homemade hot chocolate! I have a go-to peanut butter hot chocolate I need to post soon 🙂 P.S. Have you tried cashew ice cream yet? I have yet to make the purchase but cashew milk is sooooo wonderful!
Ooh I love PB hot chocolate too! First time I ever had one was at a cafe where they served a hot chocolate with a spoon of choc coated peanut butter to dip in. So good!
Yes – I’m on a total cashew milk bender at the moment – I made cashew ice cream last week: http://littleveganbear.wordpress.com/2014/09/14/music-for-your-mouth-vanilla-ice/
It is SO creamy!
I love your mofo-theme! 🙂
Aw, thank you 😀
Yes, I do love those mugs! And they make that velvety hot chocolate pop!

Don’t they just? They were a perfect fit!
That hot chocolate looks amazing and it must be super thick and creamy because the marshmallows are floating not sinking!
Thanks Jojo! It was SOOOO creamy, the little marshmallows were very buoyant!
Love the mugs, recipe and video! Get well soon 😀
Thank you! Much better this week, thank goodness 🙂
Those mugs are sweet. I love the handles.
I know – the handles are very elegant.
Those mugs are awesome and that hot chocolate looks great!
Thank youuuu ! x
those mugs are so beautiful and your hot chocolate looks so thick and chocolatey. YUM
Thanks so much Amey!
They are pretty mugs 🙂
Hope you feel better soon.
Your hot chocolate looks really creamy & smooth – its such an easy thing to make ourselves at home – I do wonder why I bother to buy the powdered stuff!!!!!
I totally agree, but I’m guilty of buying the powder too! It is one of those little shortcuts isn’t it? The homemade version is definitely thicker and chocolat-ier!
what pretty mugs to grow up with – and to drink hot chocolate out of
Aren’t they lovely? I secretly hope one day my mum will grow sick of them and give them to me hehe 😉 I should be so lucky…
I hope you’re feeling better? I love the mugs and the hot chocolate looks delish! :o)
Thanks Jasmine! Feeling much better 🙂
I have made these twice now. It is very delicious. Thanks for sharing.
