This hot chocolate is a delicious dairy-free alternative to the popular powdered mixes we used as kids. It calls for only 4 ingredients and takes just about 5 minutes to prepare.

What I love about making my own homemade hot chocolate is that you can customize the chocolate flavour exactly to your liking. Want a dark chocolate drink? Add more cacao powder or use less sweetener.

I love using hemp milk in this recipe from Good Hemp as it‘s neutral flavour blends seamlessly with the rich cacao powder. This is a great alternative to almond milk for those of you who might have a nut allergy or just want to try something new and equally as delicious!
