Directions
Pour the coconut milk and chocolate chips into a small saucepan and warm it over medium heat. Stir it gently but constantly so the chocolate melts smoothly, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes. Once everything is melted and combined, whisk in the espresso powder and cinnamon until they’re fully mixed in. Take the pan off the heat and add the vanilla, giving it a good stir. Pour your drink into a mug and finish it off with a generous dollop of vegan whipped cream. Enjoy!
Best Ways To Serve
Serve warm in a cozy mug and top with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or dairy-free whipped cream. It pairs well with a light biscuit or a piece of dark chocolate for a satisfying treat.
Keeping It Fresh
If you have leftovers, store the mocha latte in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, stirring occasionally to keep it smooth.
