Seeping a glass of homemade Hot Chocolate with home baked cookies always makes me so happy, especially during this Season of the year. This year, I try out another Hot Chocolate recipe, and as usual, I can tailor the sweetness to my own liking.
Ingredients: (1 glass serving)
1 cup milk
1 tbsp. granulated sugar (I add half, taste along the way, and add again)
1 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tbsp. chocolate chips/button/chopped cooking chocolate bars
1-2 drops vanilla extract
Toppings:
Mini marshmallows
Grated chocolate
Methods:
- Place milk, cocoa powder and sugar in a small saucepan.
- Heat over medium-low heat, whisking frequently until warm (but not boiling).
- Add chocolate and whisk constantly until the chocolate melt, and distribute evenly into the milk.
- Whisk in vanilla extract.
- Remove from heat and pour into a serving glass.
- Add toppings and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Want it extra rich? Add some half and half, I add some whipping cream.
- Want it less sweet? Use bittersweet/dark chocolate.
- Want flavored hot chocolate? Add cinnamon, peppermint extract, a shot of espresso, or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
I adapted this yummylicious recipe from 'Celebrating Sweets' by Allison with a slight adjustment to suit my preference.
