This was so good! Instead of using maple syrup, I used 1 packet of stevia per serving (4 total for the recipe) because I have a sweet tooth! It was delicious đŸ™‚
Delicious *vegan* way to warm up during the fall, especially when it’s snowing outside!
Almond milk or coconut milk with cacao powder and Stevia along with a pinch of cinnamon or sea salt is my favorite healthy hot chocolate combination! The chai spice is unique though–I have never tried that flavor before, but I definitely have to upon stumbling on this recipe! Your mug of hot chocolate looks glorious! I’d slurp it up by the fireplace any evening!
Thankyou very much for this recipe. I will try to make it.
those little mugs are really cute
Thank you! TARGET!
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!
Yay! This comment totally made my day. I am so glad you guys love the recipe! You should try it over ice for a chilled version in that AZ heat đŸ˜‰
This looks absolutely DIVINE! Can’t believe cocoa weather is here already…definitely making this…and heading to Target for these mugs!!
I know right. Kind of sad. I love fall, but not what comes after it đŸ˜‰
