Healthy hot Chocolate.
Chocolate is the answer to every problem.
No seriously, it is.
—-Boyfriend broke up with you? Chocolate!
—-No time to make dinner? Chocolate!
—-Spilled red wine all over your tablecloth? Baking soda!
Baking soda??? Okay, maybe chocolate is the answer to almost every problem. (Please don’t try putting chocolate on your red wine stains. Not a good idea!)
Homemade hot chocolate above is topped with coconut whipped cream and Healthy Chocolate Raspberry Sauce.
But when it’s been raining all day, and you and your roommate are stuck inside (as we were yesterday), chocolate is definitely the answer.

This is SOOOO GOOD!!!!
No TV, but am currently hooked on NCIS and The Good Guys on Netflix. Can’t wait to try this recipe–sounds great!
Okay, I’m totally curious… What kind of chocolate sauce do you make/buy? 🙂

I always wonder how u make the whipped cream. I always see A delicious looking whippedcream or blue buttercream on your recipes but i couldnt find out how u make that healthy? Or do u use regular (soy?) cream????….
That one in the photos is actually Soyatoo Extra Creamy. I love it! I stopped buying regular soyatoo because it always stopped up in the can, but I’ve had no problem with this new one.
can’t wait to make this! favorite shows: Downton Abbey hands-down favorite show. i’m so glad season 2 is online. and Ringer, The Voice, and The Amazing Race (when it’s on)… also, Once Upon a Time.
If this already was asked, sorry, but I have not enough time to read all comments – gotta go to the gym to work off the Mayan Hot Chocolate my daughter bought yesterday to share with me – OMG – it had Cayenne Pepper and Pasilla Chiles – Cinnamon too. Anywho, where do I find the recipe for Vegan Whip Cream – searched but no find. 🙂 Thanks – love the recipes and most especially the small servings that make indulging possible here and there. xo

I love Gossip Girl too! I’ll watch basically anything on CW and I also love Castle and Once Upon a Time, to name a few… The only problem is that I’m living in a dorm where I have to watch all of my shows online which just eats away my bandwidth! I love the hot chocolate idea! I might just go make some now… 🙂
This hot chocolate should come with a warning! I decided to be really naughty and make myself 2(!) servings. I feel ill now, but it was worth it! So delicious and rich! This was like heaven in a mug!
Aw lol that’s always how I feel when I eat too much coconut butter… the stomachache is worth it! Of course chocolate’s the same ;).
You know it’s “whipped cream,” right… and not WHIP cream. As in, it is cream that has been whipped. What is WHIP cream?
Sorry, Angie, but if you want to get technical… I use Soyatoo and it says “whip” right on the can ;).
Katie, I am just starting to try your recipes with my meat-and-potatoes family and am NOT telling them what they are eating 🙂 So far the choc chip cookie dough got an “it’s good” rating, but I still have some several days later. I did use chunky pb though, and that may have messed with the texture. The fudgy brownies was perfect – not scarfed up in one day, but gone in two, taking care of everyone’s need for a chocolate dessert. Soy is a problem for me but the soft tofu didn’t seem to cause me any pain, so I’ll do that one again for sure.
I’d like to try this recipe using coconut milk, but for the most part we don’t like the flavor of coconut. Do you get a coconut flavor with the coconut milk? I know that cooking with coconut oil rarely leaves a coconut taste.
Thank you for sharing your successes, and congratulations on all of your recent accomplishments!
I don’t taste it… but I like coconut so maybe I am biased!
