    Spiced Chocolate Almond Milk with a Double Dose of the Good Stuff

    By Alisa Fleming on May 3, 2016 Beverages, Dairy-Free Recipes, Milk Subs

    I’m excited to announce that a new dairy-free cookbook has been released today, The New Milks: 100 Dairy-Free Recipes for Making and Cooking with Soy, Nut, Seed, Grain, and Coconut Milks by Dina Cheney. For those of you who have been clamoring, this is a “just” dairy-free book with some unique recipe twists, including the spiced chocolate almond milk recipe that Dina is so kindly sharing with us here today (pictured in the flavored milky line-up below)!

    Spiced Chocolate Almond Milk with a Double Dose of the Good Stuff

    The New Milks starts off with a primer on homemade dairy-free milk, including a general guide to making them and a cool chart on how to best use each milk beverage (there are so many!). Then Dina quickly jumps into recipes that use milk, including these creative and enticing options:

    • The New Milks by Dina CheneyMexican Frittata with Corn and Zucchini
    • Coconut French Toast with Tropical Fruit
    • Pasta with Pumpkin-Tomato Sauce, Rosemary and Pancetta
    • Thai Turkey Burgers with Lime and Pepper Mayo
    • Grilled Rosemary Mushrooms with Red Wine-Balsamic Reduction over Polenta
    • Pina Kale-ada Smoothie
    • Sea Salt Chocolate Coffee Frappe
    • Mashed Cauliflower with “Brown Butter” and Sage
    • Beet Cream
    • Strawberry “Buttermilk” Sherbet
    • Whole Wheat Challah with Raisins
    • Rosemary Popovers
    • Graham Cracker Pudding
    • Dark Chocolate Truffles with Cinnamon and Cayenne

    And of course, I love the wonderful “spiced” nature of the chocolate almond milk recipe below, which includes a double dose of chocolate goodness. Because, why not?

    As mentioned, The New Milks is excitingly a “just” dairy-free cookbook. There are options for everyone, including vegans, but eggs, meat and wheat are found within. Also, Dina does focus on from-scratch cooking and baking with only a handful of recipes calling for substitutes like dairy-free cheese alternative. And yes, all of the pretty milks pictured here are easy recipes that can be found in The New Milks.

    This super chocolaty almond milk is way more flavorful than the version you remember from childhood. To appeal to young kids, omit the spices.
    Author: Dina Cheney
    Serves: 1¼ cups (1 serving)
    Ingredients
    • 1 cup + 2 tablespoons plain unsweetened almond milk (homemade or store-bought)
    • 1 ounce dairy-free semi-sweet chocolate, broken up
    • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
    • 1 tablespoon agave nectar
    • 1 cinnamon stick
    • 3 whole cloves
    • 2 cardamom pods
    Instructions
    1. Add all of the ingredients to a small sauce- pan, whisk well, and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Simmer until the cocoa powder and chocolate dissolve, while whisking, about 3 minutes.
    2. Strain the chocolate almond milk into a small-medium bowl, cover, and chill until cold, about 1 hour. Remove the spices, pour into a glass, and serve cold.

      I am not dairy-free and haven’t tried almond milk, but this recipe makes me think that I should at least try it. #ChocolateAddict

        Haha, definitely perfect then for you. You really should try almond milk, too, Laura. I can’t tell you how often I see shopping carts with almond milk and cheese in them – people just love the stuff, dairy-free or not.

      What a neat concept for a book! I’m glad the chocolate milk is not peppery spicy. 😉
