Chocolate Coconut Water

If you loved Zico Chocolate Coconut Water then you will love this copycat version. This Chocolate Coconut Water is creamy, light, and refreshing!

If you love chocolate and coconut as much as I do, be sure to check out some of my other favorite recipes like my Dark Chocolate Coconut Squares, Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies, or my Chocolate Coconut Loaf Cake.

I was obsessed with the Zico Chocolate Coconut Water for a while. Then they stopped making it, then they started doing it with some weird protein in it, and then I just switched to Harmless Harvest Chocolate Coconut Smoothies when they came out. But, I still get a craving for that light and creamy chocolate coconut water that's different than the thick smoothie. So, I have made the best copycat organic coconut water but with chocolate!

If you were a fan of the original one, then you will love this recipe for organic coconut water with chocolate! You just need a couple simple ingredients that you probably already have and this takes no time at all!

Why You'll Love This Recipe

Zico Copycat: If you loved Zico Chocolate Coconut Water then you will love this easy recipe to make your own at home! I used to buy Zico Chocolate Coconut Water all the time. But, it's not organic, so I knew I could make a better organic coconut water at home!

Smooth & Creamy: This Chocolate Coconut Water recipe is smooth and incredibly creamy.

Easy AF: This Chocolate Coconut Water is incredibly easy to make. I use coconut milk, sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and coconut water. I cook this together on the stovetop, very similar to making hot chocolate! Then, chill, and you have your own homemade Chocolate Coconut Water in your fridge at all times.

Ingredients

• Coconut Milk: I use organic coconut milk as it makes this a little creamy.
• Cane Sugar: I use organic cane sugar as it provides a natural sweetness that cuts the cocoa.
• Dutch Cocoa Powder: I use organic Dutch cocoa powder which provides a rich chocolatey flavor.
• Salt: You'll need a pinch of fine sea salt.
• Coconut Water: I use Harmless Harvest Organic Coconut Water, but the beauty of this recipe is you can use a coconut water that is less than ideal for drinking. I've made this with many different ones and while some coconut waters are not as good, you can use one that is less than ideal for this because of the chocolate. So, if you get one you're not a fan of, use it to make this organic coconut water instead!

Tools Needed

• Scale: Use a digital food scale for the best results.
• Small Pot: I use a small pot to heat everything together.
• Whisk: You'll need a whisk to whisk the cocoa and cane sugar and ensue the chocolate is completely combined with the coconut milk.
• Drink Thermometer: I use a drink thermometer to ensure the milk doesn't burn.
