Spiked hot chocolate?! YES PLEASE! You’re going to love this dairy-free hot chocolate recipe because it’s spiked with a little bit of amaretto and made with almond milk and maple syrup! Other holiday favorites of ours are these Festive Hot Toddies as well as this Raspberry Mulled Wine…YUM! EVERYONE. This spiked hot chocolate recipe is the mecca of all hot chocolates. Why? One word– Amaretto. Amaretto has such a yummy, almondy flavor and it pairs perfectly with hot chocolate! Amaretto is a sweet Italian liquor and it tastes and smells like the most perfect almond extract on this planet! I love it in this dairy free hot chocolate recipe not only for the flavor but because it’s easy drinking! For this dairy free hot chocolate, you only need 4 total ingredients. 4! Check it out:

Thanks. This looks great! I usually put the alcohol into my coffee and cocoa drinks AFTER everything else. Cooking alcohol causes some of the alcohol to evaporate. You will still get the taste though. Cheers!
LOVE this idea! I’ll have to be recreating soon! My favorite holiday booze is a white chocolate liquor. Like a version of Bailey’s. So good!! I’ll have to try adding some of that into hot chocolate too!
A hot chocolatey-baileys, that’s amazing!
😀
You had me at booze… 😉
Hopefully my hot cocoa cravings will kick in soon – I’m still in love with my cold/iced chai tea lattes; I’m not ready to give them up! I’m sure once the freezing temps kick in in Duluth, it will be all the rage. Hello to another MN blogger! =)
YUM! This looks amazing. And it seems like the perfect treat for a cold winter girls night! 🙂
Not only does this look delicious – but WOW, the photos are stunning!
Yum! This looks like it could be the go to drink to survive my first winter in Alaska. For holiday cookies, traditional sugar cookies with frosting or Russian tea cakes are two of my favorites 🙂
They may not be healthy, but they’re great! …. Amaretto Apricot Chews. It’s our “gotta-have” Christmas cookie.
I’ve never heard of that! Looking it up now!
This looks so luxurious and comforting! Lovely photo as well!
Thank you Cara!
perfect fall treat!
