Vegan Hot Chocolate With Oat Milk

Dairy free doesn't have to mean second best. Our 52% hot chocolate is dairy free, and with a good oat milk it makes one of the creamiest hot chocolates you'll ever have.

What you need

• Our 52% Hot Chocolate (dairy free, made from Colombian Fino de Aroma cacao)
• A milk jug or small pan

The recipe (one mug)

• 25 to 30g of hot chocolate (about two heaped scoops)
• About 250ml of milk
• Use oat milk (barista style foams best)

Step by step

1. Put the hot chocolate in your mug and add a splash of the hot milk.
2. Stir into a smooth, glossy paste with no lumps.
3. Heat or steam the rest of the milk to about 65°C, then pour it in slowly, stirring as you go.

Which plant milk?

• Oat: naturally sweet and creamy. Our top pick.
• Soya: high in protein and foams well.
• Almond: lighter and lower in calories, with a nutty flavour.
• Coconut: rich and tropical. Lovely with caramel.

See our guide to enjoying coffee dairy free for more.

Tips

• Barista versions of plant milks are made to heat and foam without splitting.
• Heat gently. Plant milks can catch more easily than dairy.
• Top with dairy-free cream to keep it vegan.

FAQs

Is your hot chocolate vegan?

Our 52% Hot Chocolate is dairy free. Check the product page for full ingredients and allergen information.

Will oat milk froth?

Yes, especially barista-style oat milk. Steam or whisk it as you would dairy milk.

A mug with 250ml of oat milk is around 285 kcal (about 200 kcal with unsweetened almond milk).
