Coconut Hot Chocolate Recipe (2024)

so rich, no need to have any other dessert. I left off the meringue and just used whipped cream.

Super rich and delicious. You could definitely get away with using less sugar, even with bitter dark chocolate.

So thick and creamy. Served with fresh out of the oven sourdough for a snowy breakfast. I enjoyed it as basically a "dessert" beverage. My husband liked the coconut milk aspect but felt it was too thick (but not too sweet) to have more than a small "child's" portion. Next time I will thin the mixture with a small amount of coconut water and see if that makes it more beverage and less dessert. Did not make the meringue - that was an excess too far!

I used lite coconut milk, and got a still delicious drink with more the consistency of typical hot chocolate.

love this. halved the sugar and used a 72% chocolate. next time, i might try it without any added sugar.

This is REALLY rich! I had to do some substitutions, and it turned out great. I didn't make the meringue but that sure sounds good too!Subs:2 tbsps maple syrup instead of brown sugar1 tbsp mini choc chips instead of 1 oz chopped chocolateWill experiment next time to make it sugar free somehow... :-)

Made this initially for my young (4 yr old) friend across the street who cannot tolerate dairy. We had (stupid COVID) weekly tea parties (her mom, too!) and my goal was to find great nondairy treats that she can partake in. Now, I make this for myself when I NEED chocolate in the evening!

I found this to be too thick and rich and needed much more water.However, I also cooled it in the fridge and blended ice cream and bananas with it and it made for a very nice milkshake :)

Americans ALWAYS add way too much sugar in all of their recipes. I added 2 small teaspoons to this.

Ok I guess I barely followed the recipe but so many of the comments described this cocoa as incredibly rich and I knew it would be too much for me- I had slightly less than a full can of coconut milk I had opened a few days earlier, and combined it with about a quarter cup of leftover coffee, two tablespoons each of cocoa and white sugar, and it was great. If you're looking for more of a traditional hot cocoa but subbing out the regular milk for coconut, no need to do the extra bittersweet choc.

A delightful surprise: this makes delicious 'pudding' cups if chilled after making! I made the full recipe for myself, consuming only a portion at first and storing the remainder in the fridge. Chilled in perfect consistency, did not separate, and now I have delicious dark chocolate pudding!

Add a single espresso!

I'm an admitted chocolate snob and I've always preferred dark chocolate, even as a child and well before it was fashionable. These facts have only deepened with age; so much so, the only hot chocolate I've made in the past 10 years is made up of pure chocolate, not even a dash of cocoa powder! I was pleasantly surprised with the depth of flavor and while I wouldn't say I liked it better, I will make it again. Note I halved the sugar, simmered w/cinnamon bark and added a pinch of cayenne, musts!

Totally a keeper! Didn't bother making the merengue and it was delicious just on its own as a hot cup of cocoa on a snowy winter afternoon.

Can you make this with coconut milk in a cartoon?

Toddler approved. :)

superb!

Used a very good fatty coconut milk, left extra hot chocolate in the fridge, and then realized that the next day that I accidentally made a mousse that taste even better than the hot chocolate. Going to make this again, but as a mousse!

Oops—meant thinned it out with water! :)

Thinned it out with about another 1/3 cup of milk bc it was so thick and others said that it was rich and sweet. Was enough for our family of 4, and very delicious. Now to watch the Grinch!

It has a very rich delicious flavor. Highly recommended. Definitely make it for Christmas morning.

Yes Kahlua is vegan

1 tbsp turbinado sugar ipv brown sugar

Threw me off that step two says “mix in hot cocoa and chocolate” in the second to last sentence.
