Yes, there is a hot chocolate recipe in the BabyCakes book. Mind you, hot chocolate is not something I crave very often when the overnight low is 74 degrees. But I said every recipe so this one had to go too.
This cocoa is sweetened with agave and flavored with vanilla. I started with almond milk because I didn't have any soy milk on hand, but the soy version is likely a little creamier.
At first taste, I thought it wasn't sweet enough to compensate for the cocoa powder. However, after a couple more sips I came to appreciate the darker chocolate flavor that wasn't overly sweet.
In all honesty, I think I prefer Alicia Silverstone's Hot Cocoa recipe from The Kind Life book. She sweetens it with maple syrup instead of agave and adds chocolate chips. But I made this recipe, and that's what counts. EIGHT to go!
Our overnight lows have been in the 50s. My kids are begging for hot chocolate. And Christmas Tree cutting season is coming so will have to check out The Kind Life recipe for a fun change.
