HOMESTYLE HOT COCOA



Homestyle Hot Cocoa image

Growing up in snowy Canadian winters, my mom would always make my brothers and me hot cocoa after a night of tobogganing. When I got older - and had long since abandoned real cocoa for the instant variety - I had a craving one night for a more wholesome treat. Here's my recipe for a creamier, homestyle cup of cocoa. Perfect for those snowy winter nights!

Time 10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ cup white sugar
⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch salt
⅓ cup boiling water
3 cups milk
1 cup half-and-half, divided
¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
8 large marshmallows

Steps:

  • Whisk together sugar, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and salt in a saucepan; stir in boiling water. Whisk until sugar is dissolved.
  • Bring cocoa mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes; stir milk and 1/2 cup half-and-half into water mixture. Cook and stir just until hot, about 2 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat; stir in remaining half-and-half and vanilla extract.
  • Divide cocoa into mugs, top with marshmallows, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality cocoa powder. The better the cocoa powder, the richer and more flavorful your hot cocoa will be. Look for cocoa powder that is labeled "unsweetened" and "100% cacao".
  • Don't boil the milk. When you heat the milk, don't let it come to a boil. This will cause the cocoa powder to curdle.
  • Add the cocoa powder and sugar gradually. This will help to prevent the cocoa powder from clumping.
  • Whisk constantly. Whisking the hot cocoa constantly will help to create a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Add your favorite toppings. Once your hot cocoa is made, you can add your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream, marshmallows, or chocolate chips.

Conclusion:

1-2-3 Hot Cocoa is a quick, easy, and delicious way to warm up on a cold day. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a rich and creamy hot chocolate that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a warm and comforting drink, give this recipe a try.
