A delicious rich Hot Chocolate made with coconut milk. Packed full of flavour but low in calories
As the weather gets colder you really can’t beat a delicious cup of hot chocolate to warm you up on a cold afternoon or evening. And of course a little hit of chocolate is never a bad thing either!
I make mine with coconut milk which adds a really tasty flavour to the hot chocolate but feel free to use a dairy milk or another non-dairy milk like almond or soya instead.
I add the tiniest drop of sweetener to my hot chocolate, just to take away the dark hit of the cocoa. But it’s fine to leave it out or maybe add 1 tablespoon of honey if you prefer to use something more natural.
The marshmallows however in my opinion are an absolute must!

Have been having this of an evening to stave off any sweet cravings as it’s normally around 9pm when I start reaching for the chocolate! This has been really helping! Still feel like I’m having a treat and definitely has kept me away from the more calorific stuff!
