Equipment

Blender

Ingredients

2½ cups plant-based milk I used oat milk
3 tbsp cocoa powder
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp peppermint extract or to taste
pinch of salt

Optional

crushed candy canes to top
vegan whipped cream

Instructions

Heat your plant-based milk in the microwave at 1 minute intervals until desired temperature (it took me 3 minutes total). You could also heat the milk on the stove top.
Add all ingredients to the blender and blend on high until completely mixed.
Serve with a dollop of vegan whipped cream (I love the So Delicious one!) and crushed candy canes and enjoy!
