Summoning all chocolate lovers for this melty Nutella hot chocolate affair with a chunky bark of cinnamon. This is a story of how chocolate and cinnamon became friends. The cinnamon spice is strewn in this pool of chocolate liquid gold with a dollop of whipped cream and generous dustings of cocoa and dark chocolate shavings and the flavour is wholly spruced up. All you may need is a bottle of water to restore balance.

This hot chocolate recipe is creamy, chocolatey, and bursting with flavour! It is vegan, dairy-free, and gluten-free which can easily be made refined-sugar free as well! However, you can also use regular dairy milk with amazing results!

To make this dairy-free Hot Chocolate with no refined sugar, you can substitute the following:

Use unsweetened chocolate in place of the bittersweet or semisweet chocolate.

Replace granulated sugar with coconut sugar!

Winter is not complete without hot chocolate!

Can you think of anything better than a cup of melty Nutella hot cocoa, made with coconut milk, cinnamon, whipped cream and dark chocolate shavings on a cold, winter day?

While it may seem easier to pop open a packet of store-bought hot chocolate mix and stir it together with hot water, we all know that the best hot chocolate is homemade!

This recipe is made with ingredients that you most likely already have in your fridge and pantry.
