Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp plant-based chocolate syrup (natural)
  • 1 cup almond milk (plant-based), chilled
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 cup ice cubes

For Topping and Garnish

  • Whipped coconut cream (plant-based), for topping
  • Grated dark chocolate (plant-based), for garnish (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients to have everything at hand. Measure the plant-based chocolate syrup, almond milk, maple syrup (natural), and vanilla extract (natural) for smooth blending.
  2. Blend the Base: In a blender, combine the plant-based chocolate syrup, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ice cubes. Blend on high speed for 30 to 45 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and frothy.
  3. Taste and Adjust: Taste your mocktail and add more maple syrup if you prefer it sweeter or additional almond milk if you want it creamier. Blend again briefly to combine any adjustments.
  4. Pour and Garnish: Pour the creamy chocolate mocktail into chilled glasses. Top each serving generously with whipped coconut cream (plant-based) and sprinkle with grated dark chocolate (plant-based). Add fresh mint leaves if desired for extra aroma and color.

Notes

  • Use cold almond milk and syrup to achieve a smooth, refreshing texture without excessive ice.
  • Adjust the sweetness with maple syrup (natural) according to your chocolate syrup’s richness and bitterness.
  • Utilize fresh vanilla extract (natural) for the best flavor depth and aroma.
  • Chill glasses before serving to keep the drink colder for longer.
  • Try crushed nuts or plant-based chocolate shavings as alternative toppings for added texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours and stir gently before serving.
  • This mocktail can be frozen in ice cube trays to use later in smoothies or drinks without dilution.
  • Warm leftovers gently with a splash of almond milk (plant-based) for a cozy version.
