Turns out the richest, creamiest and most indulgent (decadent, luxurious.. I could yap on ’bout it all day long) hot chocolate ain’t got a lick of dairy in it. Seriously now, heavy cream ain’t got nothin’ on this baby!
I can’t rightly take credit for this one though. My beau turned me onto this amazing vegan hot chocolate recipe and I’ve whipped it up many a time since.
Then just t’other day, I felt a hankerin’ for some adventure and added chilli to the chocolate. BOOM! It was like fireworks in my mouth.
The rich dark chocolate mixed with that chilli after burn is just right together. A match made in heaven – or maybe down yonder?
It’s the perfect treat for a slow Sunday mornin’. I can just see myself lounging in bed with this thick and creamy hot chocolate and a big ol’ stack of pancakes.
Now, I’m partial to my grub extra spicy, so ya might have to adjust that chilli powder amount to your liking.

Ingredients
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 3 cups dark dairy-free chocolate, chopped in pieces
- 1-2 tsp chili powder

Instructions
- Scrape the solid part of the coconut cream into a mixing bowl and whip with a whisk until creamy and fluffy, then pop it in the fridge.
- Heat the coconut milk on low to medium heat in a saucepan on the stove.
- Once the milk starts to sizzle add the chocolate and stir until melted.
