    Casablanca Vegan Hot Cocoa

    This recipe for vegan hot cocoa is a “15 minutes or less” entry in the Fast & Fresh Dairy-Free Time Trials Recipe Contest, submitted by reader Roxanne Chan. For the creamy base, she Coconut Milk Beverage from  So Delicious. Naturally sweetened with dates and enriched with luxurious cashew butter, this vegan hot cocoa is actually nutritious!

    Special Diet Notes: Casablanca Vegan Hot Cocoa

    By ingredients, this recipe is dairy-free / non-dairy, egg-free, gluten-free, peanut-free, soy-free, vegan, and vegetarian.

    For a tree nut-free and vegan hot cocoa, you can use sunflower seed butter in place of the cashew. It will add a different flavor vibe and be a touch less creamy, but tasty in its own right.

      Hi Alisa,
      This looks delicious! Of course we’ll adapt it for our nut-free friends with SunButter, but the mint and dates sounds like a marvelous combination. Thanks for the inspiration!
