Add all the ingredients to a saucepan and cook over medium heat until the chocolate is completely melted, whisking frequently.
Serve with your favorite toppings.
Substitutions:
- Almond milk is my favorite one for this recipe, but please feel free to use any milk you have on hand.
- If not using almond milk, I would go for a type of non-dairy milk with a higher content of fat like soy milk, cashew milk, or coconut milk.
- I prefer to use unsweetened milk and add the sweetener to taste later, but if you want to use sweetened milk just add less sweetener or omit it.
- Instead of chocolate chips, you could use chopped dairy-free semisweet chocolate or dark chocolate and add more or less sugar if needed.
- Unsweetened cocoa powder can be used instead of chocolate chips, about 2-4 tablespoons, or even a combination of both.
- All kinds of sweeteners work for this recipe (brown, coconut, cane sugar, or even maple or agave syrup).
- Try it before serving and add more sugar if needed.
- Make sure the sugar and the chocolate chips or chocolate you're using are vegan.
Storage:
- Refrigerator: store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.
- Reheat on the stove: transfer it to a saucepan and heat it up over medium heat until it’s warm enough. If it’s too thick, add a little more milk.
- Reheat in the microwave: you can reheat it also in the microwave in 30-second increments (stirring after each) until hot.
