Ingredients

Directions

  1. Peel two ripe bananas and break them into large chunks, setting aside one small slice for garnish if desired.
  2. In a small saucepan, prepare the basic hot chocolate according to package or recipe instructions, ensuring the milk and cocoa are well combined and heated through.
  3. Add the banana chunks directly into the hot chocolate mixture while it is still warm on the stove.
  4. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the bananas sit in the hot liquid for 2-3 minutes to soften slightly.
  5. Use an immersion blender directly in the saucepan to puree the bananas into the chocolate until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
  6. Stir in the chai spice blend or chai hot chocolate mix to infuse the drink with warm aromatic flavors like cinnamon, cardamom, and ginger.
  7. Reheat the mixture gently over low heat for one minute, stirring constantly to prevent scorching, until it is hot but not boiling.
  8. Pour the chocolate banana drink into mugs and top with a dollop of vegan whipped cream or coconut cream.
  9. Garnish with the reserved banana slice and a light dusting of ground cinnamon before serving immediately.
