- 2 tbsp dark chocolate syrup (make sure it’s vegan!)
- vegan whipped cream (for topping)
- Vegan marshmallows (for a fun, fluffy finish)
Instructions
- Heat the Almond Milk: Start by pouring your almond milk into a small saucepan. Warm it over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent it from burning. Heat until the milk is just simmering but not boiling.
- Mix in the Mushroom Hot Chocolate: Once the almond milk is heated, whisk in the 2 tablespoons of Real Mushroom’s Mushroom Hot Chocolate powder. This is where the magic happens! Real Mushroom’s blend not only adds a creamy texture but also packs in adaptogenic benefits, supporting stress reduction and mental clarity. Stir well until it’s fully dissolved and smooth.
- Add the Dark Chocolate Syrup: Stir in the 2 teaspoons of dark chocolate syrup for that rich, chocolatey goodness we all crave. Feel free to add more if you like your cocoa extra sweet!
- Pour into Your Favorite Mug: Once the hot chocolate is mixed to perfection, pour it into your favorite mug. Bonus points if it’s oversized — you want plenty of space for those delicious toppings!
- Top with Vegan Whipped Cream & Marshmallows: Now, the fun part! Generously top your mug of hot chocolate with vegan whipped cream. You can use store-bought options or make your own with coconut cream for a more decadent treat. Then, add a handful of vegan marshmallows on top for a gooey, nostalgic finish.
- Sip and Enjoy: Take a moment to enjoy the warm, soothing flavors of your vegan mushroom hot chocolate. Feel free to garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a few shavings of dark chocolate for extra flair.
