Creamy, indulgent and cosy vegan chai spice hot chocolate topped with a whipped coconut cream!

Two of the best things about this time of the year? Chai spice! And warm cosy drinks!

Which is why I have combined them together for this decadent chai spiced hot chocolate with whipped coconut cream.

It's creamy, sweet, indulgent and SO cosy!

I like to whip this up in the afternoon, cosy up on the sofa with my dog and wrap up under a huge fluffy blanket. All the cosy vibes! Oh, and it's super easy too!

What makes up chai spice?

I've used a mix of cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg and cardamom. This is then mixed with cocoa, vanilla, maple syrup and oat milk.

All the ingredients then simmer in a saucepan for a few minutes whilst you make a super quick coconut whipped cream using the cream from coconut milk, maple syrup and vanilla.

This makes the hot chocolate extra creamy and luxurious so I definitely recommend making it! But it is also delicious without it if you want to skip it.

If you're a lover of chai spice you will love these chai spiced biscuits, which would also be a GREAT addition dipped into this hot chocolate, yum!

Or one of my favourite biscuits are the Biscoff Lotus ones, so good dipped in hot drinks!

This hot chocolate would be perfect with some of these cookies dunked in:

Chewy oat cookies

Gingerbread cookies

Spiced chocolate cookies

Super creamy and indulgent vegan chai spice hot chocolate with coconut whipped cream. Ready in just 5 minutes and the perfect sweet treat on cold autumn afternoons!

Ingredients

2 cups oat milk
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground all spice
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Pinch of ground cardamom
Pinch of ground cloves
½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste
3 tablespoon maple syrup
4 tablespoon cocoa powder
Splash of hot water

Whipped Cream

4 tablespoon coconut cream from a tin of coconut milk
1 tablespoon maple syrup

Instructions

Place the milk and maple syrup in a saucepan on medium heat.

Mix the spices and cocoa powder in a cup and add a splash of hot water, mixing until it becomes a paste.

Place this in with the milk and stir well. Leave to warm up on a gentle simmer.

Place the coconut cream and maple syrup in a bowl, mix with a hand held mixer (or whisk) until fluffy and whipped.

Pour the chai hot chocolate into mugs, top with the whipped cream and decorate with extra spices or cocoa powder.

Notes

I use Oatly Barista milk. You can also use a different kind of plant milk, but I find oat milk to be the creamiest and frothiest.

This was very bitter. I am not a fan of overly sweet, but this was bad. Too much cocoa I think. Did not enjoy.

  Hi, I am really sorry you didn't enjoy it. Did you follow the recipe exactly? I find the hot chocolate to be rich but not bitter and the whipped coconut cream adds extra sweetness.
