Deliciously Ella’s favourite winter warmers

As it starts to get a little bit colder and darker outside, we love to warm up with an almond milk hot chocolate and something delicious to munch on.

Ever since Deliciously Ella launched their Caramel Cups last year, they’ve become a firm favourite with us. Made with three layers: a gooey vegan caramel at the bottom, a thick and creamy cacao ganache (or salted almond butter ganache) and a thin layer of Deliciously Ella vegan chocolate on top, these sit in a bite-sized oaty cup and make what we think is the perfect plant-based indulgence.

Free from gluten and dairy, Deliciously Ella Caramel Cups go perfectly with this plant-based Hot Chocolate recipe from the Deliciously Ella app.

Serves 1
250ml almond milk
2 tbsp date syrup
2 tsp cacao powder
1 tsp almond butter
1 tsp cinnamon (optional)

1. Place all the ingredients into a saucepan and heat gently.

2. Keep stirring as the hot chocolate heats to ensure all the ingredients mix together and the almond butter doesn’t stick to the bottom.

3. Take the saucepan off the heat before it reaches boiling point to keep all the goodness in!
