Maple Hot Cocoa

Goodnow Farms Maple Hot Cocoa is a plant-based drinking chocolate sweetened with Severance Maple's golden New England maple sugar and built on house-pressed, single-origin cacao. Like all Goodnow hot cocoas, it is never alkalized and contains no additives, so the natural flavanols and bright bean character come through. The cup is fruit-forward, chocolaty, and warmed by real maple.

How to serve

Whisk into hot milk (dairy or plant-based) or water until smooth, stirring vigorously since this non-alkalized cocoa is naturally more delicate to dissolve. Serve in a small mug with whipped cream and a drizzle of maple syrup. Pairs beautifully with shortbread, oat cookies, or a stack of buckwheat pancakes.

Flavor profile

Fruit-forward, vibrant cacao layered with mellow, caramelized maple sweetness. Rich and chocolaty without heaviness, with the natural flavanols and clean finish that come from skipping the alkalization step.
