Vegan Orange Hot Chocolate

Recipe Description

Our mug of Vegan Orange Hot Chocolate is like no other. This version of a classic orange hot chocolate blends the tangy citrus flavor of fresh orange juice with the rich cocoa flavor, and this mix is like heaven.

My recipe is vegan-friendly, so feel free to use any unsweetened non-dairy milk of your choice. The other star ingredients are sugar and cocoa. To make this cozy drink healthier, I use coconut sugar and raw cocoa powder. You can also make this beverage versatile and add toppings to your taste: whipped coconut cream, orange zest, marshmallows, mini chocolate chips, or some shaved chocolate. Any of them are gorgeous. And finally, spiced to perfection with ginger and cinnamon, I’m sure this dreamy Christmas drink will warm you up!

To make this Vegan Orange Hot Chocolate, you will need the following ingredients:
