Tofu Mexican Hot Chocolate

YIELD: 4 Cups

Enjoy a velvety smooth cup of Mexican Hot Chocolate without the dairy!
 
Mori-Nu Silken Tofu replaces milk in this sweet and spicy recipe that uses a combination of cocoa powder and semi-sweet chocolate chips to create the perfect balance of chocolaty goodness. Cinnamon, vanilla, and nutmeg add warmth, while ground cayenne pepper adds the Mexican twist to a popular beverage.
 
Traditionally frothed with a “molinillo,” this Tofu Mexican Hot Chocolate recipe can have that same authentic layer of froth from an electric frother or a hand whisk. Either way, it is best served steaming hot with a dash of cayenne powder for an added kick.
 
Mori-Nu Silken Tofu blends easily to create a creamy and velvety dairy alternative for vegan hot chocolate and other beverages, so you can enjoy your favorite drinks without sacrificing the taste or texture!

TIPS

  • For a thicker consistency, omit the cocoa powder and double the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
