Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup non-dairy milk
- 2 tbsp cacao powder
- 2 dates, pitted
- ½ tsp cinnamon or 1-2 cinnamon sticks
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: Add non-dairy milk, cacao powder, pitted dates, cinnamon (either ground or sticks), and vanilla into a pot on the stove.
- Simmer: Bring the mixture to a low boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes to allow flavors to blend and dates to soften.
- Remove cinnamon sticks: If you used cinnamon sticks, carefully remove them from the pot before blending.
- Blend until smooth: Transfer the hot mixture to a blender, secure the lid tightly to prevent steam from escaping, and blend until completely smooth and frothy.
- Serve: Enjoy the chocolate date latte on its own warm, serve it poured over ice for a cold treat, or add it to your favorite brewed coffee for an indulgent mocha twist.
Notes
- You can substitute dates with maple syrup or agave for a different natural sweetener.
- Ensure the blender lid is tight and use caution when blending hot liquids to avoid steam burns.
- For a creamier texture, use a higher fat non-dairy milk like oat or almond milk.
- Adjust the amount of cinnamon according to your preference for spice level.
