How to Make Avocado Hot Chocolate

? Step 2: Blend

Add the mixture from the saucepan (carefully) to your blender or food processor. Add the avocado and pulse until combined and creamy.

Tips for This Recipe

Use Your Favorite Sweetener

This recipe calls for maple syrup, but you can swap it out for your sweetener of choice: like honey, agave, stevia, or coconut sugar. You can also adjust the amount of sweetener you use (add more for a sweeter version of this drink).

Use Your Favorite Milk

Oat milk is used in this recipe because it's creamy & sweet, but you can swap it out for your favorite non-dairy (or dairy) milk and your drink will still be tasty.

Enjoy Immediately

Avocado hot chocolate is best enjoyed right after making it! It's not a recipe that keeps well in the fridge or for leftovers. This is mostly because the avocado will turn bitter.
