1. In a medium saucepan, pour 2 cups of unsweetened soy milk and place on medium heat. Warm the milk, stirring occasionally, until it begins to steam but does not boil.
2. While the milk is heating, sift 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar into a small bowl to remove any lumps.
3. Once the soy milk is steaming, whisk in the sifted cocoa powder and sugar mixture. Continue whisking until fully dissolved and no lumps remain.
4. Add the 2 ounces of finely chopped dark chocolate to the saucepan. Stir frequently until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
5. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Taste the hot chocolate and adjust sweetness as desired by adding more sugar, 1 teaspoon at a time.
6. Pour the soy hot chocolate into two mugs. Optionally, top with whipped topping or marshmallows for a festive touch.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy your warm, dairy-free treat!
