Gingerbread Hot Chocolate
This comforting winter beverage skips the dairy and refined sugar for a nutrient-rich treat. Infused with warming spices and sweetened with robust molasses and maple syrup, it delivers deep flavor and a luxurious, pudding-like texture thanks to a smooth arrowroot finish.
Instructions
- 1
In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk plant-based milk (1 cup) with ground ginger (0.75 tsp), ground cinnamon (0.25 tsp), ground nutmeg (0.2 tsp), ground allspice (0.1 tsp), cacao powder (2.5 tbsp), maple syrup (1 tbsp), and blackstrap molasses (0.5 tbsp). Bring the mixture to a rapid simmer.

In a separate small bowl, whisk the remaining plant-based milk (0.5 cup) with arrowroot powder (1 tbsp) until the slurry is completely smooth with no clumps.

Slowly pour the slurry into the saucepan while whisking constantly. Continue to cook for 45 seconds until the hot chocolate is thick, glossy, and creamy. Serve warm in a mug.
