In a small saucepan, add unsweetened cocoa powder, vegan dark chocolate chips, vanilla extract, and coconut sugar - start with 1 tablespoon and adjust sweetness later.
Add unsweetened almond milk and another cup of thicker non-dairy milk of your choice, like soy milk or oat milk, or coconut milk.
Bring the saucepan over medium heat, gently stirring often, and cook for 2-3 minutes or until hot, chocolate chips are melted, and bubbles form on the sides of the saucepan.
If you want to make a Mexican vegan hot chocolate, stir cinnamon and chili powder now.
Serve immediately with a dollop of frothed soy milk or whipped coconut cream and a pinch of cocoa powder on top.
Notes
Low-carb option: replace the coconut sugar with sugar-free crystal sweeteners like erythritol or 1-2 stevia drops. Use sugar-free chocolate chips and unsweetened almond milk only.
