Homemade Hot Chocolate

With just a few staple kitchen ingredients, here comes a glass of Hot Chocolate; to go along with my freshly baked Christmas Cookies; and watching Hallmark Christmas Movies in the comfort of Home!!


Ingredients: (1 serving)

3/4 tbsp. granulated sugar (or add to desired sweetness)

1 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder

3/4 cup whole milk

2 tbsp. dark chocolate chips (can use semi sweet if you prefers sweeter)

1/4 tsp. vanilla extract

1/4 cup cream


Methods:

  1. In a small pot, whisk together sugar and cocoa powder.  Add milk, chocolate chips and vanilla and whisk together.
  2. Place over medium-low heat and bring it to a light boil, stirring constantly.  Be sure the chocolate is fully melted and incorporated.
  3. Set aside to cool to your desired temperature.
  4. To serve: Pour cream into a glass or cup.  Next, pour in the chocolate mixture.  Top with whipping cream, sprinkle some shaved chocolate and enjoy!

I adapted this delicious Hot Chocolate recipe from 'Natasha's Kitchen' by Valentina Ablaev with slight adjustment to suit my preference.
