HOT CHOCY & MELLOWS 🍫🍡☕️Today is considered to be #nationalnothingday. A day where we basically do…thats right…nothing! Because doing nothing absolutely requires a comforting beverage, I have made a cup of my favourite #veganfriendly hot chocolate and marshmallows. This cup of coziness uses cashew milk, Kokoa Collection single origin hot chocolate, topped with these adorable mini @freedommallows marshmallows and chocolate sauce. No need to be polite and fussy, make it extra chocolatey and messy, with plenty of drippiness for the maximum indulgence! Then back on the sofa, curled up with a cookie or two, a good book in hand and perhaps a bit of Netflix sounds like a good plan to me! 👍🏻How will you be spending your sunday doing nothing at all? #hotchocolate #singleoriginchocolate #marshmallows #chocolatelovers #darkchocolatelover #hotbeverage #veganhotchocolate #veganmarshmallows #kokoacollection #freedommallows #veganlifestyle #veganlife #vegandrinks #veganuary #veganuk #vegansocietyapproved #vegansociety #vegansocietyuk #nonpaidpromo #giftedproduct #foodphotography #beveragephotography #lazysunday #foodporn #hotchoco ...

SMOKED BOURBON HOT CHOCOLATE & BOURBON VANILLA CREAM.This boozy hot chocolate recipe with a good hit of bourbon will make you feel warm and heady, leaving a subtle scent of smokiness on your palate and the desire to simply curl up and escape from the dark chilly autumn night.Recipe Makes 2 Mugs:Requires a smoking gun with either a dome or a lid to place over your mugs. I used oak smoking chips but you can try with various wood chips to add subtle unique flavours and scents to your hot chocolate.60mls Bourbon Liquor6 Tablets of @kokoacollection Hot Chocolate. - My favourite for this drink is 75% Haiti1 Tablespoon Black Cocoa Powder3 Teaspoons Dark Brown Sugar500mls of Nut Milk of choice. - I used Cashew Milk.Topping:150mls Vegan Cream1 Tablespoon Bourbon Liquor1 Teaspoon Vanilla Essence2 Teaspoons of Powdered Sugar Dusting of Black Chocolate PowderOptional: Chocolate Sauce1. Make your topping ready by whipping up the cream to form medium peaks. Add the powdered sugar, bourbon, and vanilla and continue whipping until stiff peaks. Keep in fridge until ready to use. You can place the cream in a piping bag to make it easier to pipe on top. 2. In a small saucepan or hot chocolate maker, place all the ingredients to make the chocolate. Stir over a low heat using a whisk until all ingredients are combined and the chocolate is fully melted.3. Fill your mug with the hot chocolate and place your dome or smoke lid over your glass. Allow the smoke to entirely fill the space then sit then turn off the smoker and allow the smoke to infuse the hot chocolate. This will take around 1-2 minutes, depending on how subtle or prominent you wish the smokiness to be. 4. Remove the dome/smoking lid then pipe or spoon the bourbon cream on top and finish with a dusting of black cocoa powder and optional chocolate sauce.
