I was messing around in my kitchen one day and was craving hot cocoa. Since I only had dark chocolate on hand, I used that, and for a festive touch added cinnamon. Pour into a mug and top with whipped cream or marshmallows, if desired. Serve hot.

Categories     Beverages

Time 10m

Yield 1 quart, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 quart milk (may use soy, almond, cow, rice milk)
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/4 cup sugar
2 ounces dark chocolate, finely chopped (or semi sweet chocolate)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In 2-quart saucepan, heat milk to simmering over medium heat.
  • With wire whisk, stir in cocoa, sugar, chocolate, and vanilla. Heat mixture 3 minutes or until chocolate melts, stirring occasionally.
  • Pour into warm mugs to serve.
  • Variations:.
  • Mexican Hot Chocolate:
  • Prepare Hot Dark Chocolate as above, but add 1 cinnamon stick (3 inches long) to milk in step 1.
  • Coffee-Spiked Hot Chocolate:.
  • Prepare Hot Dark Chocolate as above, but stir 1/4 cup strong coffee(I use decaf) into chocolate mixture just before serving.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the hot chocolate will be. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Don't overheat the milk. Overheating the milk will cause the chocolate to seize and become grainy. Heat the milk until it is just simmering, then remove it from the heat.
  • Whisk the chocolate and milk together until smooth. Use a whisk to stir the chocolate and milk together until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  • Add flavorings. Once the hot chocolate is made, you can add flavorings such as vanilla extract, cinnamon, or nutmeg. You can also add whipped cream, marshmallows, or shaved chocolate on top.

Conclusion:

Hot chocolate is a delicious and comforting drink that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to warm up on a cold day or to relax before bed. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make hot chocolate that is sure to please everyone.
