The secret to this super thick, rich and creamy hot chocolate is homemade cashew milk. You will need to prep the cashews the day before. Don’t try to cheat and use the store bought stuff, it won’t yield the same results. The homemade cashew milk thickens when it heats up giving this drinking chocolate a texture similar to a pudding. You can sip it, dip things in it or eat it with a spoon!
Use your favorite bean-to-bar chocolate to make it extra special!

Homemade Cashew Milk
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews soaked overnight
- 3 cups water
- 2 pitted dates
- ¼ tsp cinnamon (optional)
- ½ tsp vanilla (optional)
- pinch of salt
Instruction
Soak the cashews overnight in 1 cup of water. Pour the cashews and the soaking water in to a blender with all the remaining ingredients. Blend on high for 3 minutes. If your blender is not powerful enough, you can strain any chunky bits through a nut bag. Don’t laugh, that is what they are called.
