Hot Chocolate on a Stick is super fun way to enjoy a nice hot chocolate drink during those cold winter days. Easy to make and delicious! (Paleo, Vegan, refined sugar-free)
This is one of the finest chocolates I have made so far. It is a blend of 100% dark, unsweetened chocolate, cocoa butter, ground coffee, vanilla, honey and raw coconut palm sugar. This blend gives a hot cup of milk a smooth and creamy dark chocolate taste. I thought these were wonderful with coconut milk, but you can also enjoy them along with almond milk, raw milk or any other type of milk you prefer.
Heat up 1 cup of milk (e.g. raw milk, coconut milk, almond milk...), dip the chocolate in the cup and swirl it around until it melts.
This recipe makes only 3 chocolate cubes and you can double or triple the recipe as needed.
Note: The chocolate will melt at room temperature unless you temper it before placing it into molds. Here is how to temper the chocolate.
Tip: Grind raw coconut palm sugar, ground coffee and ground vanilla in a food processor or magic bullet until powder so that the chocolate is less grainy.
