I’m sure most of us have heard of bullet-proof coffee. I know I have… My partner and best friend both love it! I’m not so keen on coffee… But I felt like I was missing out on this delicious, warm, filling way to start the day.

So this morning when I asked my daughter Charli what she felt like for breakfast… And she said “something small” … my brain started ticking over…

Usually on mornings like this I’ll whip up some sort of delicious breakfast smoothie with all sorts of yummy, filling, nutritious ingredients. The only problem with this idea… Is that it’s only 13°C outside! That’s far too cold for us to be drinking something icy cold ❄️☃️

And so the fat hot chocolate was born! ☕️

Charli was ‘Oh Yummmmmm’ing’ straight away. I didn’t even have time to snap a pic of her with a full mug! 😆

I used my food processor as I still don’t have a blender… But it works just fine. Everything was thrown into the food processor and blitzed for about 10 seconds. What was thrown in there? Well, I’m glad you asked 😊

Recipe:

Serves 2

Ingredients:

2 Tbsp. raw organic cacao powder
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter (solid is fine)
2 Tbsp. coconut oil (solid or liquid)
1 tsp. cinnamon powder
1 tsp. vanilla bean paste
100ml thickened cream
500 ml boiling water
A few drops of Nirvana Organics liquid stevia (I used chocolate flavoured but plain would be fine too)

Method:

Add it all to the blender/food processor and blitz.
Taste and adjust to your liking.
Drink up!

You could also mix with a stick blender or just mix it right in the mug adjusting the ingredients. It won’t be as ‘well incorporated’ it will taste just fine. Use enough water for the size mugs you are using. Add more cream for a ‘less watery’ drink. And if you’re making it for someone who prefers it sweeter and doesn’t mind extra carbs (like my son!) add a tsp of rice malt syrup. 😊👍🏼
