I hate slurping noises. Detest them. I have come very close to screaming at people who have slurped anywhere in my vicinity. But there is something incredibly satisfying about slurping away at a vegan hot chocolate. Especially when it is as good as this one.
Most vegan hot chocolate tastes too sugary, overly artificial tasting, or just plain bland. That was until I stumbled across the chocolatey goodness that is hot cacao in Mexico. It is so thick and creamy and it tastes like chocolate.
Since then I have been religiously making vegan hot chocolates with a simple cacao powder mix. If you love chocolate, which you should if you are searching for a hot chocolate, then you’ll love this.
