Tahini Hot Chocolate with Salted Tahini Caramel (Vegan)

This decadent, salted tahini hot chocolate is my cure for the winter blues! Topped with a generous heap of pillowy coconut whipped cream and drizzled with silky ribbons of salted tahini caramel, prepare to be comforted by this cozy drink's warm embrace.

Make sure to check out the YouTube video below to watch me make the hot cocoa and the caramel!

The tahini infuses this warm hot cocoa with a silky smooth richness, and I prefer to also add a pinch of sea salt to bring out the rich chocolate flavor.

I hope you guys love this recipe as much as I do! Make sure to tag your recreations on Instagram @zenandzaatar #zenandzaatar or pin this recipe for later!

Once all is dissolved and mixed thoroughly, whisk in the rest of the non-dairy milk, vanilla, and sea salt if desired. (You can taste and adjust sweetness here, but the caramel will sweeten the drink a lot!)

Notes

*Check out the salted tahini caramel recipe.

**To make your own non-dairy whipped cream, simply beat coconut cream that has been chilled for at least 12 hours with an electric mixer. (Coconut cream is the solid part of full-fat coconut milk; it will become easily separable if you chill the coconut milk overnight.) Beat in 2 tablespoon or more of your favorite sweetener.
