Rachael Ng Will Make You Fall in Love With Hot Chocolate All Over Again

Hot chocolate is one of the most delicious winter drinks, and Rachael Ng loves it as much as the rest of us. The mastermind behind the food blog Sugared & Stirred is constantly finding ways to put a sweet twist on this drink, and here are some of her best recipes.

Vegan Hot Cocoa From Scratch

If you’re new to making hot chocolate on your own, this recipe is a good place to start. Ng will walk you through the process of making vegan hot cocoa from scratch, using such ingredients as Dutch-process cocoa powder, agave syrup, and vanilla extract.

Salted Egg Yolk Hot Cocoa

Just like the previous recipe, this one can be made with just five ingredients, and the result is truly mouth-watering. Torani’s salted egg yolk syrup is the main ingredient that sets this beverage apart, while the rest of the add-ins are pretty expected, from cocoa powder and plant-based milk to mini marshmallows.

Gingerbread Hot Cocoa

Hot chocolate is a holiday drink at its core, so you should definitely mix it up with some festive spices. Ng opted for ground ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg this time around, while also making sure to top her drink with some gingerbread cookies.
