  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 Tbsp tahini
  • 1 pitted medjool date (or 2 tsp coconut sugar, or other sweetener of choice)
  • 1/2 tsp maple syrup or honey (if not vegan)
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 1 pinch ground cinnamon
  • 2 Tbsp collagen peptides (adds creaminess + protein, omit if vegan)
  • 2 Tbsp coconut milk powder (or omit and substitute hot water with warmed milk of choice)
  • 1 ¼ cup very hot water (or milk of choice)

Toppings

  • Coconut whipped cream
  • Drizzle of tahini
  • Dusting of cocoa powder
  • Shaved dark chocolate

Instructions

  1. Add Ingredients to Blender: For best results, place all ingredients into a high-speed blender with a lid that has a vent to allow steam to escape. If you don’t have a blender, heat the mixture on the stovetop, omit the date and substitute with additional sweetener, or blend ingredients with cold water or milk and then heat on the stovetop.
  2. Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture until it is creamy and smooth. Taste and adjust flavors by adding more honey or maple syrup for sweetness, cinnamon for extra warmth, cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavor, or coconut milk powder or tahini for added creaminess.
  3. Serve and Garnish: Pour the hot chocolate into a mug. Enjoy as is or top with coconut whipped cream, a drizzle of tahini, a dusting of cocoa powder, or chocolate curls made by shaving your favorite chocolate bar with a vegetable peeler.
  4. Store and Reheat: Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored sealed in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop before serving.

Notes

  • Use collagen peptides for added protein and creaminess; omit if following a vegan diet.
  • Medjool dates add natural sweetness, but you can substitute with coconut sugar, maple syrup, or honey depending on dietary preferences.
  • If coconut milk powder is not available, substitute very hot water with warmed milk of choice to maintain creaminess.
  • Use a blender with a vented lid to safely blend hot liquids and prevent pressure buildup.
  • This recipe can easily be customized with different plant-based milks or sweeteners to suit your taste and dietary needs.
