BINGO!!! It is EXACTLY the way I like hot chocolate to taste. And it is plant-based.

| Vegan Hot Chocolate ready to sip. So good. Also in a new-ish toy! Love this Yeti mug. Did NOT love the price. |
I made some of this hot chocolate in the VitaMix just the way Jessica said. IT IS SO GOOD!! You do not need to use a high-speed blender. If you don't use a high-speed blender just blend for about 90 seconds which should pulverize the dates enough. Once blended, heat up in the microwave or a small saucepan on the stove.
I did not have medjool dates. I used deglet noor dates that I weighed in at 40 grams and covered with 1/4 cup boiling water that sat on the counter five minutes, 1 1/4 cup Almond Breeze almond milk and 1 Heaping Tablespoon Hershey's cocoa.
Today I made a double batch so Dear One could have more of a sample than he got last night. The cocoa was 40 grams in weight so for one serving I will use 20 grams cocoa when I made it again. (A kitchen scale is so handy...)
Put all these things into the high-speed blender and blend for 3 and 1/2 minutes. It will come out the perfect temperature to drink. Steaming hot. So delicious!!
