As most of you know, I am a lover of all things chocolate. Sometimes you can feel left out this time of year with all those fancy holiday drinks being advertised. So I wanted to create a hot chocolate with some extra chocolate flavor that tasted just as good as it looks.
In addition to the dairy free hot chocolate, I made some chocolate whipped coconut cream and a chocolate sauce to drizzle on top. Sprinkle with some sea salt and chopped tiger nuts and your hot chocolate will look just as good as a Starbucks commercial.
If you don’t have coconut cream, then make your own by simply putting a can of coconut milk in the fridge overnight. Scoop the top (solid part) off and use to make your whipped cream. Use the liquid part in a smoothie or another recipe.
Pretty right?! Well it honestly tastes like a little slice of heaven. It is pretty rich and decadent so I literally drank it in three different sittings or you could share with a friend! If you aren’t into all the fancy stuff then feel free to just make this hot chocolate without all the toppings and it also tastes delicious and is ready in minutes.
Now go ahead and make yourself a decadent hot chocolate and sit back and relax with a good book. You deserve it!

When І look at your ᴡebsite in Safari, it looks fine but whеn opening in Intеrnet Exρlorer, it һas some overlapping.

So excited to try this! I am really missing chocolate since starting this AIP lifestyle change journey 3 weeks ago and this sounds heavenly! It’s like cheating withing actually cheating! Thanks so much Meagan!
You’re very welcome, Janet!
I tried the aip hot chocolate and it helped curb the chocolate craving by far the easiest recipe i have found online. Thank you!
I had a terroble time with the suace thought. How did you get it to be a good consistency mine was like this runny good inside goo that seperated like the coocnut oil did not attach to the brown. I wonder if i used to much or burnt it?
So glad you enjoyed it, Amanda! Yes, sometimes if you heat it too quickly or its not low enough. You can always melt the coconut oil first, then remove from the heat and let it get to room temp., then add in the other ingredients slowly stirring. Hope that helps!
Could you use honey as a substitute to the maple syrup in your hot chocolate recipe?
Yes you could!
