Ingredients You Will Love!
Non-dairy milk: It is a great alternative to cow’s milk for those who are allergic or avoid it for health or moral reasons. Most grocery stores offer non-dairy milk options, including almond milk, hazelnut milk, coconut milk, soy milk, rice milk, oat milk, and hemp milk. My go-to non-dairy milk is almond and soy milk. However, hazelnut milk also tastes very good in this recipe.
Chocolate hazelnut butter: JEM Organics is redefining chocolate hazelnut butter with sprouted, stone-ground hazelnuts and wholesome, vegan ingredients. Not only is it super creamy and extremely delicious, but it is also crafted in a peanut-free facility! More reasons why I love JEM Organic chocolate hazelnut butter:
organic
sprouted/ activated nuts
stone ground
gluten & dairy-free
no additives or preservatives
no palm oil or soy
low sodium
This blend of sprouted hazelnuts, coconut sugar, cacao nibs, cacao butter, and vanilla is like no other. It’s sweet notes, rich chocolate, and roasted hazelnuts pair that well to create a luscious, creamy spread. It is delicious on its own or in sweet treats — like this delicious dairy-free hazelnut hot chocolate. Let’s get to the recipe!
The Method
Step 1: Hot or Cold?
Choose whether you would like a chilled iced chocolate latte or a cozy mug of chocolate. Both options are effortless; start by adding a cup of hot/ cold non-dairy milk to a blender. I find that small blending cups work best. If you only have a large blender, double or triple the recipe.
Step 2: Make It Chocolatey!
Next, add 1 tablespoon of JEM Organics chocolate hazelnut butter and blend until smooth. Pour into your favorite glass or mug and top with marshmallows and non-dairy whipped cream.
