Quick Vegan Hot Chocolate
Category: Beverages/Smoothies
Suitable for a: vegan diet
Ingredients:
------------------------------------------------------
1 part baker's powdered cocoa
2 parts turbinado sugar or other vegan sugar
Soymilk or other plant-based milk (lacto-ovos can use cow's milk)
Instructions:
------------------------------------------------------
I came up with this on one of those cold nights when I wanted hot chocolate and I wanted it NOW, but there was no vegan mix around. It came out great and I've never used a mix since.
For one cup of hot chocolate, I typically use tablespoons of cocoa and sugar, but use whatever amount you'd like, as long as you keep the ratio the same.
In a microwave-safe container, combine the sugar and cocoa. Add just enough soymilk to cover, then stir with a wisk (the more tines the better) until mix is combined and free from lumps. If you're making a single serving, the easiest way to do this is to stick the wisk straight down into the cup, then spin it between your palms.
Add more soymilk until you've got enough to make the amount of hot chocolate you want, wisk again, then heat in the microwave. If a skin forms during heating, give it a few final wiskings. It'll be a bit foamy, but that's half the fun.
Additional comments:

Serve and enjoy. This hot chocolate, especially when made with soymilk, is very rich and creamy. Believe me, you'll be able to sneak it past your omni friends.
