Mexican Hot Chocolate

Real Mexican chocolate blended with milk or water creates a frothy and rich hot chocolate. Perfect for a cold night in!

Ingredients

• 4 cups (960 ml) almond milk [or milk or water]
• 10 ounces (154 g) Mexican chocolate
• ⅛ teaspoon sea salt, optional

Directions

1. Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
2. Run the Hot Soup Program or start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed. Blend for 5 minutes 45 seconds.

Notes

Garnish with whipped cream (or non-dairy equivalent) and Mexican chocolate shavings! To make this a latte, add 2 teaspoons of instant espresso before blending. Traditional Mexican chocolate does not contain dairy, however some commercial varieties contain milk product. If you're using non-dairy milk for this hot chocolate, make sure the chocolate you use is dairy-free too!
