Cathy, I’m so glad you like it! I was also really pleased with how it turned out; I had to go dairy-free while nursing my son, and at the time relied on many soy substitutes. It was winter, and as much as I wanted to like the soy hot chocolate, it was always just a mediocre substitute. The coconut milk really does get as close as you can to the texture and flavor of cream or whole milk — I wish I’d come across it three years ago!

Thank you so much for this recipe. It’s totally awesome! I have to be on a low-iodine diet for several weeks and can’t have dairy or soy. But I’ve been really wanting some hot chocolate because it’s freezing outside! All the non-dairy recipes I could find online used soy milk, so when I saw yours I got excited. And I just happened to have a can of coconut milk! Thanks so much! This hits the spot!
