Vegan Chai Hot Chocolate that’s ready to drink in 5 minutes! This delicious vegan hot chocolate is low calorie, creamy and full of chai flavor. Make this homemade chai hot chocolate recipe today! vegan chai hot chocolate in a mug HOT CHOCOLATE. One of my all time faves in the fall and winter months. It really brings me back to all the years I spent at skating rinks growing up. After a long evening of practice, I’d always grab a hot chocolate from the concession stand on my way out. You know, the kind that came in a packet with those tiny hard marshmallows. Anyway, we thought we’d figure out a way to create a clean ingredient vegan hot chocolate that has all the delicious creamy chocolate flavors or our coconut hot chocolate recipe, but with the added kick of a little chai spice. We knew we wanted to use our DIY Chai Spice for this, too. It’s been sitting patiently in the cabinet waiting for this season ๐Ÿ˜€ If you don’t have the time or ingredients to make your own chai spice, it will be easy to find this time of year at pretty much any grocery store. But, I do have to say, making your own mix is SO MUCH BETTER. And you can always mix up a big batch to last you all season. Yum. Let’s get into this recipe!

How to Make Hot Chocolate (with Chai!)

Step 1: Gather your vegan chai hot chocolate ingredients:
  • Almond milk
  • Cocoa powder
  • Chai spice (here’s our fave DIY chai spice recipe!)
  • Vanilla extract
  • Maple syrup
Step 2: Pour wet ingredients in a medium sauce pan, and then add in your dry ingredients. Bring to a rolling boil and stir with a whisk until all dry ingredients have dissolved. Reduce heat and let simmer for 3-5 minutes. Step 3: Pour in mugs and add your favorite whipped cream, frothed milk or mallows, and enjoy! This recipe serves 2, but feel free to double or triple if you’re serving a crowd. vegan chai hot chocolate ingredientsvegan chai hot chocolate ready to be mixed  vegan chai hot chocolate being poured in a mug vegan chai hot chocolate in a mug

I halved the recipe and used unsweetened vanilla almond milk and two Truvia packets. I topped it with a bit of ReddiWip. It was tasty, but not quite sweet enough for my taste. Next time, I’ll be sure to use sweetened vanilla almond milk.

Your chai hot chocolate recipe is phenomenal!! My fiance and I are both allergic to dairy so we looked for a recipe to make our own and this one wins hands down! We live in Phoenix so we never really get hot cocoa weather but we’ve made it for every trip we’ve taken up to the mountains (i.e. – cold weather) this year. Thank you!

The best thing about this recipe is how healthy it is! I love drinking hot chocolate, but always feel so guilty after devouring one so I rarely make some. But If I make this recipe, I can have hot chocolate all the time! Thanks for sharing it!
