Easy Creamy Vegan Mocha
This easy vegan mocha is made with chocolate chips and cocoa powder for an extra creamy, decadent drink.
To make these, simply whip up a small-batch of hot cocoa then froth and pour over your favourite coffee. Top with coconut whip cream and chocolate sauce for a special treat.
For more hot drinks, try my golden milk or vegan bulletproof coffee. This iced matcha is also delicious for a lower-caffeine alternative.

For me, the most difficult part of making something like this is ratios. This recipe gets the perfect amount of dark chocolate flavor, a hint of vanilla that is just right and creaminess. I am sure if you used a thicker milk than I did (I used oat milk) it would be even creamier, but I’m not a fan of coconut milk really. For those wondering, I used honey to sweeten this and for me 2 tablespoons was not enough but enough for my hubs. But I like things sweeter. So I added another splash of honey in after all was assembled and stirred and voila. Easy to make, the right measurements and, in the end, tastes delicious. Thanks!

Thank you so much!!!! This was better than Starbucks.
Well that’s saying something! Haha, glad you enjoyed it! 🙂 thanks for the comment.
I’ve been looking for a really good vegan mocha latte and i came across this and Brittflix’s video on how to make one. Both are sooo good. i personally think this recipe is thinner and silkier but her’s is definitely creamier and rich and I can’t tell which recipe I prefer. Guys you should definitely try them both. Look Brittflix up on youtube and watch her vegan mocha latte video.
