Je ne sais pas ce qu'il s'est passé avec cette recette. Je n'ai pas aimé dj tout. Une histoire de propositions peut-être ? Les quantités de lait sont pour 3 personnes alors que les quand de chocolat ne sont que pour deux. Il manque clairement d'intensité j'ai dû ajouter des carrés de chocolat. Je ne suis pas du tout convaincu. Mieux vaut faire la recette du chocolat espagnol qui elle est à tomber par terre

Hey Marguerite, we’re sorry to hear the recipe didn’t meet the mark for you! It's meant to be a less intense and naturally sweetened hot chocolate recipe. We're glad the Spanish hot chocolate recipe is being enjoyed though and appreciate the feedback to help us improve 🫶✨

Merci Pickup Limes pour vos adorables réponses

My new favorite hot chocolate recipe! Have made this three times already.


Nadika - Dec. 21, 2024, 2:44 a.m.

This recipe was so easy to make and super delicious! Our go to hot chocolate recipe is your Chai Hot Chocolate, but this one is just as delicious! Perfect for the winter months!


Paulina - Dec. 7, 2024, 9:07 p.m.

Woooow, so yummy!!!!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

So delicious and comforting on winter nights! My 10 year old loved it! 😋😋


Alexandra - Oct. 22, 2024, 6:54 p.m.

Okay, whoever is in charge of creating the recipes at PUL is seriously killing it! There is no coming back to any other hot chocolate recipe after this one. Thank you ❤️

Alexandra, you're way too kind! We're so glad you're enjoying the hot chocolate recipe as well 🥰

This has spoilt every other hot chocolate for me 😄 So much tastier and better for you than say Star Bucks!
I made mine a mocha with decaff espresso, and subbed 10 cashews for the almond butter as I had none on hand. The sweetness from the dates is so much gentler than sugar, and the effect on the body noticeably milder. A loonng drink that I drank slowly over the morning - instead of breakfast - (and saved 2 portions for the rest of the week!).
I'm so glad I tried it. Thank you for a beautiful recipe!

We're so happy you enjoyed the hot chocolate recipe, Lyssa! The cashew swap sounds lovely, and how fun to turn it into a mocha. Thanks for taking the time to share 💛

Absolutely delicious !


Preethi - July 24, 2024, 6:25 a.m.

Really yum 😊 I didn't heat it up, instead I added some ice cubes and it was really nice on this hot summer day ☀️


Cynthia O´Toole - July 19, 2024, 7:10 a.m.

Looks so nice!! How much sugar if I don't put dates?

PUL Team - July 19, 2024, 1:57 p.m.

Hey Cynthia! If you're skipping the dates, you can add about 1-2 tablespoons of sugar to taste. If you start with less you can always add more as needed 🤗


Aisha - July 14, 2024, 9:41 a.m.

Wow this is absolutely delicious. So creamy, rich and flavourful


Claire Whittaker - Jan. 28, 2024, 11:38 p.m.

This is very yummy and satisfying! Used maple syrup instead of dates to save needing to blend it


Amanda - Jan. 17, 2024, 3:58 a.m.

I was skeptical of trying this with almond milk because I tried another almond milk hot chocolate in the past and it was gross. No this is GREAT. I have to try not to chug the two servings lol


Jun Yi - Jan. 15, 2024, 9:16 p.m.

It’s a cold day outside and this is the perfect treat to bundle up with! Feels like a warm hug from inside.

PUL small logo PUL Team - Jan. 15, 2024, 11:50 p.m.

Yayy thanks, Jun, sending lots of warm vibes your way 🤗✨


Shayda - Jan. 13, 2024, 1:22 a.m.

10/10 amazing!


Sauce - Dec. 15, 2023, 3:25 a.m.

This is a fantastic recipe, but it is RICH. I may be stating the obvious, but for those of us who like to scale down the richness, we will go with 8oz max per person next time and scale down the dates.


sydney - Dec. 9, 2023, 3:11 a.m.

Perfect treat with a Christmas movie!


Pauline Parinet - Nov. 30, 2023, 1:51 p.m.

It feels like a cocoon on its own ♡ when I am lazy to cook after work, coming home late, that was so reigniting the soul in this cold period.

PUL small logo PUL Team - Dec. 1, 2023, 1:07 a.m.

We're so happy that the hot chocolate is being enjoyed, Pauline, thank you! 🤗


Chrysiida - Nov. 26, 2023, 1:27 a.m.

This was exactly what I needed after walking in the freezing cold at night. I wanted something hot and I remembered saving this so I immediately made it as soon as I arrived home and it was delicious! The quantity was bigger than I am used to, but I can't really complain when it comes to hot chocolate...

PUL small logo PUL Team - Nov. 26, 2023, 10:01 p.m.

Oh hot cocoa is so nice on chilly evenings 🤩 thank you for taking the time to share the review, Chrysiida!


Kinga - Nov. 16, 2023, 10:16 p.m.

Delicious (I replaced dates with maple syrup)


Leticia - Oct. 19, 2023, 10:31 p.m.

Delicious but I made mine with peanut butter


Rút - July 26, 2023, 8:12 a.m.

Delicious, but makes a huge quantity, even using large mugs!
I wasn’t paying attention when I made and it was just too much 😅


Becca Cross - June 27, 2023, 4:44 p.m.

Delicious!
