Laura,
I just wanted to say that we love these! I use to make them all the time then last summer we found out 4 out of 5 of our family is allergic to milk. I have wanted to make these for some time and decided to try again with rice milk. I am so happy to report it worked!! It took a little longer to thicken but I’m ok with that. My children’s response was great WE CAN HAVE CHOCOLATE SOOTHIES AGAIN?!?!?!?!!! So as I type my children sit at the table dipping bananas in their soothies as they call them. :) Thank you for your blog!

@Shawna, did you ever try this? I have a hot cocoa maker as well and wondered the same thing. I was just concerned that the eggs wouldn’t cook right.

I think if you wanted to use whole eggs, you could start with
all of the other ingredients. Mix the eggs in a separate bowl.
Then add a tablespoon at a time of the warm liquid to the eggs to
temper it. After a few tablespoons, you could add your egg
mixture to the rest and be sure to keeping stirring. Should
hopefully avoid any lumps. (Works when making pudding!)

Yes, this would be okay in this recipe since you’re heating it on the stove!

If we buy only ‘regular’ eggs [non-organic, non-free range] in our house, is it still safe to put the yokes in this drink? Does the heat kill any bacteria issues? I know Laura has mentioned elsewhere that she only uses the eggs from her neighbors’ chickens, which she knows are safe. Thank you!

Mine usually doesn’t come out quite that thick – you could maybe add a little less arrowroot powder or cornstarch next time to see if it’s a little thinner. :)

Wow! This is yummy!! Ours came out so thick that we could eat it with a spoon! I thinned it with milk a little to cool it for the kids and they really liked it, said it was like a chocolate smoothie! Does yours come out super thick? I was thinking of pouring it into bowls and chilling for pudding!

I just made this. Thank you so much. I’ve been drinking the hot chocolate with fake sugar. No more I say!
