Ingredients
- 2 cups almond milk
- 2 tablespoons raw cacao powder
- 2 tablespoons maca powder
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of almond milk, 2 tablespoons of raw cacao powder, 2 tablespoons of maca powder, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt.
- In a medium saucepan, pour in the 2 cups of almond milk and place it over medium heat. Heat the almond milk until it is warm but not boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent it from scorching.
- Once the almond milk is warm, add the 2 tablespoons of raw cacao powder and the 2 tablespoons of maca powder to the saucepan. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until the powders are fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Next, add the 2 tablespoons of maple syrup to the saucepan. This will sweeten your hot chocolate. Continue to whisk the mixture to combine all the ingredients well.
- Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavors. Stir well to incorporate these ingredients into the hot chocolate mixture.
- Continue to heat the mixture for another minute or two, stirring constantly, until it reaches your desired temperature. Be careful not to let it boil.
- Once heated, remove the saucepan from the heat. Pour the vegan hot chocolate maca into two mugs.
- Optionally, you can top your hot chocolate with vegan whipped cream, a sprinkle of cacao powder, or a dash of cinnamon for extra flavor.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Vegan Hot Chocolate Maca!
Tips
- Use high-quality ingredients: Choose organic raw cacao and maca powder for the best flavor and nutritional benefits.
- Whisk consistently: Continuous whisking helps prevent powder clumps and ensures a smooth, creamy texture.
- Control the heat: Keep the temperature warm but not boiling to preserve the nutrients in the maca and maintain the perfect drinking consistency.
- Customize your sweetness: Adjust the maple syrup to suit your taste preferences - start with less and add more if needed.
- Experiment with toppings: Try different vegan toppings like coconut whipped cream, cinnamon, or a sprinkle of cacao nibs for added texture and flavor.
- Store any leftovers in the refrigerator and gently reheat on the stove for best results.
