⭐Why you'll love it
Who wouldn't enjoy a nice ice cold glass of chocolate milk that's smooth, satisfying, and surprisingly rich! It reminds me of the chocolate milk from the creamery that used to come in those big thick glass milk bottles. Only this version is delightfully dairy free! Serve it chilled for a refreshing treat on a hot summer day!
🍽Equipment
For this recipe you only need a high speed blender. I use my Nutri Bullet for the perfect blend every time!
🥘Ingredients
- Raw cashews
- Unsweetened cocoa powder
- Maple syrup
- Vanilla
🔪Instructions
1.) Soak cashews in warm water for 30 minutes for ultimate creaminess.
2.) Gather up and measure out the cocoa powder, maple syrup, and vanilla.
3..) Once cashews are soaked, drain them and add 20 ounces of cold water, to a high speed blender along with the remaining ingredients.
4.) Blend on high speed for one minute. I love my Nutri Bullet for this job, it's a fantastic high speed blender and turns itself off after one minute with perfect results every time.
5.) Enjoy right away or refrigerate to enjoy later. Ice cold is when it's best, but sometimes I just can't wait!
💭Tasty Tip
After soaking and draining the cashews use cold water for blending to enjoy right away!
📋FAQ's
If you have a high speed blender you could get by without soaking if you're pressed for time and need this chocolatey goodness immediately 😂. However, soaking the cashews first will yield a creamier milk and make them easier to blend. Soaking may also aid in digestion, yay!
We store it in a glass bottle for 5-6 days, honestly though, it's gone in usually half that time. It's addicting! Shake well before pouring.
Yes, a thousand times yes! Just warm it up for a few minutes in a small saucepan on the stovetop using low heat and stirring occasionally. Top with some vegan marshmallows and chocolate chips for extra yumminess!
