Description
Ditch the boring store-bought hot cocoa mix and make this homemade peanut butter cocoa recipe instead. It’s creamy, frothy, and packed with chocolatey flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups cashew milk
- 2 tbsp date syrup
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp peanut butter or sunflower butter
- ¼ tsp vanilla paste or vanilla extract
- pinch of kosher salt
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, pour in the cashew milk, date syrup, cocoa powder, peanut butter, vanilla, and salt.
- Heat the pot on medium-high, whisking occasionally. Once the hot cocoa begins to gently bubble, whisk the cocoa constantly, otherwise, it’ll burn on the bottom of the pot. Continue to whisk until the hot cocoa is frothy, smooth, and hot.
- From here, you can pour it directly into a mug and serve. But, I like to dump it into my frother and let it froth in the warm setting. It’s an extra step, but it tastes so good with an extra layer of foam on top.
- Serve this hot cocoa with a sprinkle of chocolate shavings and marshmallows (both optional as it tastes amazing without any extra toppings).
