Our vegan hot chocolate is inspired by the Aztec drink of the gods, ‘xocolatl’. We refine it with hot chilli and aromatic cinnamon. By using coconut milk, our drinking chocolate is even vegan. Topped with coconut cream and caramelised coconut chips, this drink is also a real treat for the eyes. By the way, it tastes great both hot and cold.

01
Separate one of the cans completely from the solid part of the coconut milk. Set this aside.
02
Put the coconut chips in a pan and caramelise them together with the sugar. Finally, add the cinnamon and, if desired, fine cocoa powder, and leave the chips to cool on a plate or baking paper.
03
Mix the second coconut milk completely with the liquid part of the other tin and the drinking chocolate. Add chilli powder to achieve the desired level of spiciness.
04
Pour the mixture into a saucepan and heat while stirring.
05
Beat the solid part of the coconut milk in a bowl with a hand mixer until it reaches a creamy, slightly firm consistency.
06
Pour the drinking chocolate into 2 cups or glasses and top with the vegan cream and coconut chips.
