Homemade Hot Chocolate

Every year before Christmas, I will try out new Hot Chocolate or Cocoa recipes to enjoy with my home-baked Christmas cookies.  Let me share this delicious Hot Chocolate recipe, which I purposely tailored it to be less sweet.


Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups milk (whole milk)

1 1/2 tbsp. sugar

pinch salt

2 tbsp. good quality unsweetened cocoa powder

1 ounce dark chocolate (chips or chopped into small pieces)


Toppings:

Whipped Cream

Marshmallows

Sprinkles


Methods:

  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, add milk, sugar and salt.  Stir to combine.
  2. Heat on medium-low heat until warmed through and bubbling slightly around the edges.  Be careful not to scorch the bottom or the saucepan (the milk).
  3. Turn off heat and whisk in cocoa powder until smooth and there are no clumps.  Whisk in dark chocolate until melted and smooth.
  4. Pour into mug or cup.  Top with whipped cream, marshmallows and sprinkles.
  5. Serve and enjoy!

This delicious Hot Chocolate recipe is adapted from 'Girl Heart Food' by Dawn, with slight adjustments to suit my preference.
