I absolutely love the So Delicious Coco Whip which you can actually freeze which is awesome for those (like me) who can’t eat a whole tub of whipped cream before it goes bad.

If you avoid coffee, or you want to serve this recipe to kids, you can absolutely leave out the coffee and just adjust the sweetness to your taste. You can even go one step further and use rich coconut milk to get an extra creamy result. I used unsweetened almond milk for mine, but you can use any unsweetened non-dairy beverage that you like.

This recipe has just a few simple ingredients including non-dairy milk, coffee, cocoa powder, maple syrup (or your preferred sweetener), and peppermint oil (aka peppermint extract or peppermint flavor). I like to use a blender because it makes it nice and frothy, but you can absolutely just use a whisk if you don’t have a blender. For this vegan peppermint mocha, all you need to do is blend or whisk all of the ingredients together until smooth, and then heat it up and enjoy.
