This dairy-free hot chocolate mix is a 6-ingredient, just-add-water recipe that makes the creamiest, richest vegan hot cocoa ever! It's so easy to make and stays fresh all winter long.
Place all ingredients in the container of your Vitamix (or other high-powered blender) and pulse until the mixture is homogenous. Be very careful not to over-blend!
Transfer mixture to an airtight, glass container and store at room temperature.
To enjoy, stir ¼ to 1/3 cup of hot chocolate mix into 1 cup boiling water.
Top with marshmallows or extra grated chocolate and enjoy!

Notes
Ingredient Substitutions
Coconut milk powder. To keep this recipe dairy-free I only recommend using coconut milk powder, as I do not know of any other similar dairy-free products on the market. If you don’t mind dairy, regular dry milk powder works well.
Bittersweet chocolate. Any chocolate works great in this recipe. Just be sure to choose a variety that complies with your dietary needs! Obviously, the darker the chocolate, the richer the taste! ;)
Vanilla Bean. ½ tsp of pure vanilla extract works too, however I far prefer vanilla beans!
