Recipe love: C Coconut Water Slim Hot Chocolate

Anyone that regular sees me knows that I’m a shameless freak for coconut water, and my addiction of choice is C Coconut Water, which I believe to be the finest on the block. You can read about why on their website - and on a multitude of quality blogs - and I have raved extensively about them in the past with very good reason.

I regularly give their recipe ideas a bash, and with the colder weather coming had to share this one - a definite warmer upper and a joy to sip, with a lot less of the guilt!

Ingredients:

1 cup C Coconut Water

1 ounce dark chocolate bar with almonds, broken into pieces

1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

32 mini marshmallows (about 1/2 cup)

Directions:

In a small, heavy saucepan, heat the C Coconut Water and dark chocolate over medium heat. Sift in the cocoa, stirring constanttly, until the mixture comes to a simmer, about 5 minutes. Divide the hot chocolate among 4 mugs and top with the marshmallows, which keep it creamy without the dairy.

SO good! You can get C in Auckland at Farro stores and selected retailers and now online here.
