Ingredients
- 100 g dark chocolate
- 60 g / ½ cup cocoa powder
- 70 g / ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp powdered rice milk, if you can't get hold of this, you can leave it out but the hot chocolate will taste more bitter
- Vegan marshmallows
Instructions
- Finely chop the chocolate. You can either use a knife, grater or to make things easier use a food processor. Add to a medium sized bowl.
- Sift in the cocoa powder then stir in the coconut palm sugar and powdered rice milk. Mix until well combined.
- Chop the marshmallows into smaller pieces to make mini marshmallows (unless they are already mini sized!)
- You can store this mixture in a sealed container for up to 3 months.
- To make the hot cocoa: Simply whisk 3 tbsp of the hot cocoa mix with 240ml / 1 cup dairy-free in a saucepan over a medium heat. Once combined and warmed, pour into a mug, top with mini marshmallows and enjoy!
