Difficulty/Easy
The texture of this hot chocolate is a bit thick due to the cacao nibs and the dates. For that reason, it reminds me a whole lot of the super-rich, upscale hot chocolates—the kind that are practically melted chocolate in a glass—that you’ll sometimes find at fine chocolatiers. Except this one is made with only almond milk, cacao nibs and powder, dates, and spice. A healthy spin on a decadent classic.
Ingredients
- 4 cups almond milk
- 4-6 pitted dates (adjust according to preferences)
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp cardamom
- ¼ tsp cloves
- 1/2 tsp allspice
- 1/3 cup raw cacao nibs
- 2 tbsp raw cacao powder
Instructions
Blend all ingredients in a high speed blender till smooth. Heat gently over the stove before serving.
