This was AMAZING. My partner and I drank it before bed and it was sooo sooo soothing and calming. to use his quote "this is relaxation in a cup"
I love this hot drink! Good to drink next to my fireplace:)
I loved this recipe! I’m keep making it for cozy evenings!
Delicious x100! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe. It's so yummy and soothing before bed. I can't wait to make it for my family. :)
The spice flavor is overpowering. I added 5 dates and the drink wasn't sweet enough. Even after adding a splash of rice syrup the bitterness of cacao and spices was too strong for my liking. I hope I'll at least have a good night sleep tonight 😉
This is the best hot chocolate I have ever had!! Thank you!
This was quite the delightful surprise! Definitely is going into my recipe collection!
i Find this site very helpfull . Tried to make dishes from learning this website . Also give good instruction with measurement of ingredients which is good for make the dish more tasty and delightful .
Delicious, we added more milk as we used mugs. The spices are a great touch to upgrade a normal hot chocolate.
My husband and I made this to to enjoy this evening. So delicious and creamy, we loved the flavor!
Looking forward to another tomorrow!
Thanks for sharing this one - I loved it so much I already prepped a whole jar of the spices to be able to make it on a fly whenever I feel like it. It is so calming to unwind with a nice hot cup of that in the evening.
Wow soooo creamy!!! Love it!
I’ve made this two days in a row now, it’s soooo comforting even thought it’s summer. I can definitely see this as my regular autumn/winter beverage.
Thank you for this recipe ! 😊
So good and flavorful. I added honey instead of dates.
Absolutely loved this and so it my boyfriend! The cinnamon and vanilla essence flavour came out so nicely!
Very tasty I was curious to see if the turmeric flavor would come out. It didn’t. I also added coffee to my cup. All and all it is a nice addition to my morning and possibly my evening routine as cacao in a warm drink before bed sounds like something to relax with, plus I was just reading about dates being good for colon health
Just tried making this, it’s definitely hit the sweet spot I was craving. I’d make this again for sure!! Thank you for the simple recipe!
I was just looking for a basic hot chocolate recipe and thought “yes, this will do” but ooooh my god, was i surprised. It turned out yummy and creamy, and it’s definitely my go to hot chocolate from now on! :)
Comfort in a cup. Hot chocolate is very rich and creamy.
This was delicious!! ✨
I didn’t expect it to be as good as it was and it was a very light hot chocolate which was so enjoyable. ⛄️
I highly recommend adding the suggested pepper.
This is my favourite beverage! I drink it hot and cold :) I'm not a coffee fan and so this is "my" version of ice cacao. Nevertheless I would love some ice cacao recipes!
Your work and website is stunning and because of you I turned vegan. Pick up limes inspires me so much! Thank you for all!
Lots of love from Austria!
One of my all-time favorites! I seriously drink this all the time during the fall and winter. Sometimes I'll throw a shot or two of espresso in as well. It's the perfect afternoon pick me up in the colder months.
