Its day two of our Switch to Silk Challenge! Today we are trying something a little different with the Chocolate Soy Milk from the Simply Silk line! Since it still around thirty degrees here in South Jersey and we are all home sick with a cold, it was the perfect day for hot chocolate. But instead of using those dried up packages of instant hot chocolate that contain who knows what, we are making some Hot Chocolate with Silk. This is the recipe I found on their website.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups Silk, any flavor except Unsweetened
- 3 oz. semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla
- dash of cayenne (optional)
- chocolate sprinkles (optional)
PREPARATION
In a small saucepan bring Silk to a simmer over medium heat. Whisk in chocolate and continue to cook until chocolate is melted and fully incorporated. Remove from heat and whisk in cinnamon, vanilla and cayenne. Pour into two warm mugs. Top with cinnamon or chocolate sprinkles.
Serves 2
Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 5 minutes
We didn't have all the ingredients this particular recipe called for so I had to improvise. We just added in the cinnamon and vanilla. I'm also lazy so I heated our soy milk up in the in microwave. It still turned out awesome and was done in just a few minutes. Check out our video below:
I took a few sips after the video was over and this hot chocolate really is amazing. Its so much better than anything I ever had from a packet. The vanilla and cinnamon made it taste like a gourmet hot chocolate. My kids loved it. I'm sure if you have the other items, it would be even better. And more importantly, I know exactly what went into it, so I know its a healthier choice for my family.
The chocolate soy milk is only one of dozens of varieties of milk alternatives available from Silk and any of them can be used to make the hot chocolate.. They also offer Vanilla, Coconut, and Almond to name just a few flavors in regular, light and organic varieties.
