Tips
- Ensure your dark chocolate is finely chopped for faster and more even melting into the hot liquid.
- Whisk constantly over medium heat to prevent scorching and ensure a smooth, emulsified texture for your vegan hot chocolate.
- Serve immediately, optionally garnished with vegan whipped cream, cinnamon, or a dusting of cocoa powder.
