Ingredients

4 cups homemade Cashew Milk (sweetened)
1.5 oz. chocolate bar

optional:

½ teaspoon vanilla
small dash cinnamon or nutmeg

Instructions

Make the homemade cashew milk first, be sure to do the sweetened option.
Add the cashew milk and the chocolate bar to a pot on low-med heat and whisk continually (to avoid burning) until the chocolate is melted and its rich and creamy! (about 7-10 minutes)
Enjoy right away, or store in the fridge in a jar with a lid and shake it up for some cold chocolate milk or re-heat on the stove.

Notes

Chocolate: Use the whole bar 3 oz. if you want it extremely rich and creamy, you may need to add a little more sweetener if you use the whole bar, use whatever sweetener you chose for the homemade cashew milk. (maple syrup or vegan cane sugar)

I use the 88% dark chocolate bar from the Endangered Species brand I got mine at Whole Foods, but use what ever percent of chocolate you like, I just prefer a sweet dark chocolate.

Milk: You could use store bought cashew milk (I recommend SILK brand) but it won’t be as creamy and you won’t get to control the sweetness flavor as much.
