Coconut Black Forest Hot Chocolate
Valentine’s Day isn’t complete without chocolate. This drinkable dessert gets its dark red hue from cherry juice, cocoa powder, and dark chocolate, all packed with heart-healthy antioxidants. [callout]

Tip

For a pinker, head-turning take on this classic hot chocolate, use chopped white chocolate and malted milk powder in place of dark chocolate and cocoa. [/callout]

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (500 mL) light canned coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) unsweetened cherry juice
  • 2 Tbsp (30 mL) coconut sugar
  • 3 Tbsp (45 mL) finely chopped or grated dark chocolate
  • 2 Tbsp (30 mL) raw cacao or cocoa powder
  • 2 Tbsp (30 mL) unsweetened toasted coconut chips
