🥘 Ingredients
- plant-based milk 1 ½ cup
- ground ginger ¾ tsp
- ground cinnamon ¼ tsp
- ground nutmeg ¼ tsp
- ground allspice 0.12 tsp
- raw cacao powder 2 ½ tbsp
- pure maple syrup 1 tbsp
- blackstrap molasses ½ tbsp
- arrowroot powder 1 tbsp
📝
If you are trying to really limit your sugars, you can use 1-2 tsp (more as needed) of maple syrup instead of the 2 tbsp called for. You could omit the maple syrup entirely and just use the blackstrap molasses, but it would be more bittersweet.

1Gather: plant-based milk , ground ginger , ground cinnamon , ground nutmeg , ground allspice , raw cacao powder , pure maple syrup , blackstrap molasses , arrowroot powder .
-
2Pour 1 cup of the plant-based milk into a small or medium saucepan. Add the ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cacao powder, maple syrup, and molasses. Bring to a rapid simmer over medium heat, whisking occasionally to incorporate the cacao powder and spices into the milk.

3Meanwhile, whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup of the plant-based milk with the arrowroot powder in a bowl until no clumps remain.
-
4Once the hot chocolate is at a rapid simmer, pour the arrowroot slurry into the hot chocolate, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens, just 30-45 seconds. If you double the recipe, it will take a bit longer for the hot chocolate to thicken. Remove from heat and serve warm.
