This vegan Gingerbread Hot Chocolate is smooth and creamy with a festive gingerbread flavor.

Anything gingerbread flavored and I am all in. I have made Gingerbread French Toast, Gingerbread Coffee Creamer, and even Gingerbread Kombucha.

When I make anything gingerbread flavored, I add black strap molasses, ginger, cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg. I also add sweet maple syrup to balance out the robust flavor of the molasses.

Some people make it without molasses, but to me it isn't gingerbread without it.

How to Make This Recipe

Heat almond milk in a pan on stove. Add chocolate chips, black strap molasses, maple syrup, and spices.

Simmer on medium heat, stirring constantly until chocolate is melted.

Tips for Making Gingerbread Hot Chocolate

Let the mixture come to a simmer, not a boil. That way it doesn't burn.
You may be wondering why salt is added. It brings out the sweetness and it adds balance to the drink. If you want to see the difference yourself, try it first without, then with. Your taste buds will thank you!
As always, taste as you go. You may want more maple syrup or chocolate chips than I've included.
For a really creamy frothy whipped coconut cream, use only the thick part of the coconut milk after refrigerating, or buy coconut cream. Mix in a Nutribullet or blender.

Toppings

whipped coconut cream
store-bought vegan whipped cream
grated chocolate
