Ingredients
- 4 cups unsweetened plain plant-based milk
- ½ cup + 1 tablespoon vegan semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ½ teaspoons peppermint extract
- ½ teaspoon granulated sugar
- Whipped cream (optional, dairy-free)
Instructions
- In a 2-quart pot over medium heat, warm the plant-based milk.
- Stir in the vegan chocolate chips and continue stirring occasionally until they are fully melted, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Whisk in the vanilla extract, peppermint extract, and sugar until well combined.
- Serve hot, topped with dairy-free whipped cream if desired.
Notes
- Adjust sweetness and chocolate level to taste—more chocolate chips for a richer drink, or less sugar if you prefer it less sweet.
- Use high-quality vegan chocolate with cocoa butter for a smooth and decadent texture.
- Do not boil the milk; heat only until warm to avoid changing the flavor or texture.
- Add a candy cane stir stick or crushed peppermint for extra holiday flair.
