Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup plant-based cream
  • 2 tablespoons natural cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • Ice cubes (as needed for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base Mixture: In a medium bowl or pitcher, combine the plant-based cream, natural cocoa powder, maple syrup (natural), and vanilla extract (natural). Whisk together until the cocoa powder is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  2. Add Natural Gelling Agent: Sprinkle the natural gelling agent into the cold water and gently stir. Let it sit for a few minutes to achieve a silky texture without cloudiness, then add this to the chocolate cream base. Stir well to blend everything perfectly.
  3. Chill and Serve: Add plenty of ice cubes to glasses and pour the creamy chocolate mixture over them. Garnish as desired and serve immediately for a delightfully creamy, refreshing experience.

Notes

  • Select quality cocoa powder: A rich, unsweetened cocoa powder elevates the chocolate flavor dramatically.
  • Use chilled ingredients: Chilled plant-based cream and water improve texture and refreshment.
  • Adjust sweetness carefully: Maple syrup (natural) amount can be tweaked to taste without overwhelming the drink.
  • Whisk thoroughly: Whisking well avoids clumps and creates a perfectly smooth mouthfeel.
  • Garnish creatively: Fresh mint, grated plant-based chocolate, or a dash of cinnamon add a special finishing touch.
