Recipe Notes

You’ll need a sturdy/high-speed blender for this one. You can run the finished product through a fine mesh strainer if you’re fussy about texture. I don’t mind the thick, walnut-y sediment at the end of an unstrained version though :)
You could use stevia-sweetened chocolate chips if you want to cut the sugar a bit here.
If you’re up to it, some coconut whip is excellent on top!

Maple walnut hot chocolate is a delicious and creamy pick-me-up that's naturally dairy-free. Cozy and perfect for Winter.
