Vegan, sugar-free hot cocoa

Sunday, December 6, 2009

I had a hankering for hot chocolate today after raking leaves in the back yard. I’m still keeping my dairy and sugar to a minimum, though, so I have lots of energy to study. This is the super tasty concoction I came up with. It’s thick and creamy like a European-style hot chocolate. I don’t like my cocoas super chocolatey; consider increasing the amount of cocoa to two tablespoons if you do.

Vegan Hot Cocoa
Serves 1

1 1/4 cups unsweetened soy milk or other dairy substitute
1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa
2 tbsp date sugar (a couple dates would be a good substitute if you don’t have date sugar)
2 tbsp walnuts
couple drops of vanilla extract

Combine all the ingredients in a high-power blender and blend until smooth. Heat gently on the stove and serve.

I’m intrigued by your diet (as a near vegan myself) and want to try some of your recipes, but I’m overwhelmed at the start. At one of your semester breaks, we have to go shopping together so you can get me started with a spending spree on the staples that you use.

We might have to come up with a booklet of Matt-friendly meals, too. That would be recipes that don’t require more than 10 min. of prep time and feed one person with maybe one serving of leftovers. Hey, now that’s and idea for a cookbook!
