Hot chocolate was never really my thing, definitely not something I would drink on a regular basis. But since I learned how to make this wonderful vegan version it changed everything for me.

This warming drink is perfect for a cozy weekend at home, as an afternoon boost of energy or just as a replacement for your morning cup of coffee.

The result is very rich in flavor and texture so I usually like to serve it in small teacups and not huge mugs.
