Think cozy, comforting and satisfying. That is exactly what you’ll feel with this on hand.
I don’t know about you, but when the weather cools down and summer is long gone, I feel the need to surround myself with all things Fall. Cozy sweaters, hot soups, chunky scarves, fireplaces, thicker jeans, tall boots, good books and comfort food. That last one especially. Is this you, too?
It’s richer and bolder things I crave in the colder months. Like dense soups, bolder wines and heartier salads. But one of my biggest weaknesses is chocolate. Yup, the darker the better. I must be Ecuadorian, right? We have the best cacao at home. The best. If you’ve never had some, order some now, go ahead. Just Google “Ecuadorian chocolate” and shop it. I’m telling you: game changer.
Good dark chocolate is never missing in our home come October. I have a whole drawer dedicated to it during Fall and Winter. Right now I have some delicious orange flavored dark chocolate bars and some dairy-free chocolate chips to keep me going, but I should probably add a few more options soon. Biting into a bar of chocolate feels super satisfying and perfectly amazing. But sometimes, I want to drink my chocolate. I wanna sip on that rich deliciousness slowly by the fire, with a chunky blanket on top while reading a book. The key to cold-day happiness.
And for when this drinking-chocolate craving comes, we better have essential ingredients on hand to use right away. You never really know when you’ll need these ingredients to save yourself from the coldness doom.
Am I being too dramatic with the cold weather stuff? Nope, I’m just Ecuadorian. A tropical bird living on the wrong side of the world. It’s the right side of the world when it’s summer…but other than that, wrong side. The cold and I don’t get along. Just ask my husband. Last winter, he even got me one of those happy lamps that simulate sunshine to put 2 feet away from my face while I work. Love that man, a practical problem solver.
But yes, keep that pantry stocked up on all things comforting: dark chocolate, vanilla extract, chocolate chips, nuts (to make on-demand nut milks and butter), coconut products (canned milk, shredded coconut, coconut butter), honey, maple syrup, etc.
This Paleo Ginger Mocha recipe that I am sharing with you today, which I’ve been loving lately, only calls for 7 ingredients. Of which one is sea salt. So see? Super basic pantry stuff. You probably have the rest on hand right now. Go check. You’ll need:
- Cashews (to make homemade cashew milk)
- Coffee (espresso)
- Honey
- Cacao powder
- Ginger (ground)
- Vanilla extract
- Sea salt
- Optional: vegan mini marshmallows & dairy-free mini chocolate chips
You have these? Heck yea. You need to buy these? Run to the store. Either way, you’re making this drinky drink. It is so good. Tag me on Instagram or Facebook if you end up making it at home this season.
