Notes

  1. I prefer soy milk for this as it's thicker/richer, but almond milk also works great. Coconut milk would also work well.
  2. I used 2 Tbsp Light Brown Sugar (1 Tbsp per serve) but this does make it a very sweet drink, so add sugar according to taste. Coconut sugar would also be great in place of brown sugar.
  3. Nutritional information includes 2 Tbsp of brown sugar but excludes additional toppings like vegan whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
