What a tragedy it was when I realized almost all hot cocoa mixes have dairy - and those that didn't have dairy tasted awful when made with water. Blech! So I had to get creative and concoct my own version - a tasty dairy free version - of hot cocoa.
Dairy Free Hot Cocoa2 1/2 cups Plain Almond Milk or Soy Milk
1 1/2 cups Rice Milk
1/8 cup (2 Tablespoons) Cocoa Powder
1/2 cup (2 Tablespoons) Chocolate Syrup
3/4 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon instant decaf coffee
1/2 cup sugar
mini marshmallows to garnish (optional)
In a heavy sauce pan - or if you're lazy like me you'll use a cocomotion because it does the stirring and heating for you - combine all ingredients over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally until the mixture is well combined and the sugar is completely dissolved. Pour into mugs, add mini marshmallows if you like and enjoy!
