Dairy-free Hot Cocoa

I used to be a cow milk lover! Every time I had the chance I would prepare a delicious cup of hot cocoa. When I decided to eliminate cow milk from my diet it was very hard to stop drinking my hot cocoa in rainy days or when I simply needed to feel the sweet and warm taste of it.

Fortunately, there is a GREAT alternative to hot cocoa using coconut milk and the result is delicious and creamy. Enjoy!
