Hot Chocolate Recipe With Cocoa Powder
This hot chocolate is the best hot chocolate that I ever had. Our hot chocolate is made with milk, cocoa powder, dark chocolate, vanilla extract, and sugar. This hot chocolate comes together in a few minutes and can be doubled or tripled!
Ingredients
- 2 cup Milk
- ¼ cup Cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoon Sugar
- ⅓ cup Dark chocolate
- Mini marshmallows
Instructions
- This recipe comes together fairly quickly, so have all your ingredients measured out and ready.
- Place a medium-sized saucepan on the stovetop on medium heat and pour in the milk, vanilla extract, and sugar if desired.
- Sift the cocoa powder so there won’t be any lumps in the drink.
- Heat the mixture until it’s slightly bubbling and add the chocolate in. We cut our chocolate into cubes, but you can feel free to chop it as well.
- Mix the mixture constantly with a whisk until it’s creamy and smooth.
- Remove the saucepan from the stovetop and pour the mixture into 2 large glasses or 3 small ones. Top with whipped cream or marshmallows and sprinkle cocoa powder on top for the best experience!
Notes
Use the best quality semisweet or dark chocolate bars for the best flavor. using the best quality dark chocolate is very important in this recipe. The chocolate is what gives this hot chocolate the flavor so it’s very important to use high-quality dark chocolate.
Don’t replace the milk with water! or don’t use water in this recipe at all! Using water in hot chocolate can be okay when you make a hot chocolate mix packet.
Feel free to adjust the sugar to your liking. Some like their hot cocoa sweeter and some less sweet. Adjust to your personal preference.
