Recipe: Raw ‘Hot’ Chocolate

November 2nd, 2009 by Kendra

Hot choccie

Summary: A really creamy, milky tasting dairy-free hot chocolate! Believe me, the sunflower seeds do work – they add thickness to the drink without adding sunflower taste.

Ingredients

2 tbsp sunflower seeds, soaked in water for 2 hours or more
1 1/2 cups water
1 tsp carob
1 tsp mesquite
1 tbsp cacao powder
1 tbsp yacon syrup or agave nectar
Pinch cinnamon
Pinch of salt (optional)
Sprinkle cayenne chili (optional)

Instructions

Put everything in a blender and run for long enough that the sunflower seeds are fully broken down.
Pour the mixture from your blender into a saucepan, running it through a sieve as you do so to ensure any chunks of sunflower seeds are taken out.
Heat the hot chocolate to the required temperature, stirring all the while. If you want to keep it raw, stick a finger in as you stir and turn off the heat just before the liquid becomes too hot to be comfortable.
Find a tall mug, pour and enjoy!

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Number of servings: 1
