Equipment

  • Medium nonstick pot
  • Mugs

Ingredients

Instructions

  • If necessary, chop the chocolate bar into smaller chip-like pieces. If using chips, skip this step.
  • In a medium sized pot (preferably nonstick) whisk together all of the ingredients, except for the marshmallows.
  • Continue whisking over low-medium heat until all chocolate is melted and the cocoa powder is fully incorporated into the oat milk.
  • Continue to simmer to heat or turn off and cool to your temperature liking.
  • Serve finished hot chocolate in a mug or cup, then top with marshmallows or other topping of your choice.
  • Sip & enjoy!

Notes

  • Choose a high quality creamy oat milk! I used Planet Oat Extra Creamy. You can also make your own very easily!
  • Top this with some melty vegan marshmallows, vegan whipped cream, or homemade coconut cream. Customize it by adding flavors like peppermint, cinnamon, or even a shot of Bailey's!
  • Be sure to continue whisking throughout to prevent any burning and to make sure that no chocolate sticks to the bottom of the pot.
  • To store leftovers, pour remaining into an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 1 week. For best results, store marshmallows separately, unless they are already in the drink.
