How to Make Hot Chocolate Without Milk
Hot chocolate: an almost universal drink!
Since we were very young, most of us have grown up with this comforting habit: enjoying a good hot chocolate ☕🤍
Even as adults, it is still pleasant to dive back into childhood through a hot chocolate! You will surely think: no hot chocolate without milk! Especially since even some powdered chocolates contain milk…
What if it were possible to recreate the famous hot chocolate, without milk and in a vegan version?
Here are our solutions for a milk-free hot chocolate:
- Plant-based milk
Indeed, milk is replaceable! Animal milk can be replaced by several types of plant-based milks made from:
- Cereals (oat, rice…)
- Nuts (almond, hazelnut…)
- Seeds and legumes (soy, sesame…)
- Fruits (chestnut, coconut…)
In addition to being vegan, plant-based milks provide many health benefits, particularly cardiovascular!
- Water
Even more accessible than plant-based milk: water!
Admittedly, your hot chocolate without milk will be less creamy and less sweet, but that’s not all! Your hot chocolate will certainly be easier to digest, definitely lactose-free, and the taste of the chocolate will be more intense: unlike milk, water does not mask the aromas.
- Vegan chocolate
There are many solutions for replacing milk, but what about the chocolate, which may also contain lactose?
No worries! Here are the solutions for making a good hot chocolate without milk:
- Melt vegan chocolate.
It's as simple as that, chocolate that is already certified vegan will do the trick!
- Find vegan powdered chocolate.
Many well-known brands already do not use lactose or animal-derived lecithin, but it is normal to want to be sure! Here are brands that produce chocolate as well as cocoa powder, certified vegan:
Ø Rapunzel, with its cocoa powder.
Ø Vego
Ø Rhythm
Ø Love Raw
Ø IChoc
You now have enough to choose the methods that suit you, and enjoy a delicious hot chocolate without milk! ☕🍫
