Here’s an easy homemade hot cocoa recipe from our new 5 ingredient semi-homemade meals cookbook. This hot cocoa mix is made with coconut sugar, good quality cocoa, a touch of cinnamon, and some coconut milk powder to make it super creamy.
If you need something to dunk in your hot cocoa, try Dessi’s Bulgarian honey cookies.
How To Make Hot Cocoa
This recipe for hot cocoa makes one serving and only take a few minutes to whip up. Just combine some grass-fed milk or non-dairy milk in a small pot with the cocoa powder, coconut sugar, coconut milk, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
Warm the mixture and use a coffee frother to whip it well, if you have one. Most hot cocoa recipes calls for cane sugar, but coconut sugar is a far superior paleo sweetener and gives a nice caramel flavor to the drink.
Whats the difference Between Cocoa and Cacao?
Cocoa is the processed, or roasted, version of raw cocoa beans while cacao is never baked. While I like to use raw cacao in many recipes, I find that the stronger flavor flavor of roasted cocoa is better for making homemade hot cocoa.
