Full tutorial video above. This healthy hot chocolate is so rich, creamy, flavorful and absolutely delicious. And comes with all the goodness of walnuts and cocoa.
Take the walnuts and milk in a high speed blender such as Vitamix and blend it at high speed to a smooth creamy consistency. Strain it through two layers of cheesecloth.
In a saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup walnut milk and the cocoa powder, at medium low heat, till cocoa is dissolved (do not let it boil).
Add the remaining walnut milk, maple syrup, salt and stir. Then add chocolate chips. Heat over medium, whisking until chocolate is melted and well combined (but not boiling).
Add vanilla and adjust sweetener to taste. Pour into a mug and top with hot foamed milk (using milk frother), cocoa powder or marshmallows.
