Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup non-dairy milk
- 2 tbsp cacao powder
- 2 dates, pitted
- ½ tsp cinnamon, or 1-2 cinnamon sticks
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the non-dairy milk, cacao powder, pitted dates, cinnamon (either ground or sticks), and vanilla to a pot.
- Simmer: Bring the mixture to a low boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer gently for 5 minutes to infuse the flavors.
- Remove Cinnamon: If using cinnamon sticks, remove them carefully from the mixture before the next step.
- Blend: Transfer the hot mixture to a blender, secure the lid tightly to prevent steam from escaping, and blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Serve: Enjoy your chocolate date latte warm on its own, poured over ice for a refreshing twist, or as a flavorful addition poured over your favorite coffee.
Notes

- Adjust the amount of cinnamon based on your taste preference, adding more for a spicier note.
- Non-dairy milk options like almond, oat, or soy milk work well in this recipe.
- Be cautious when blending hot liquids to avoid pressure buildup; ensure the blender lid is vented or remove the center piece slightly.
- This recipe can be doubled or tripled for more servings.
