Christmas Hot Chocolate
Report
This Christmas hot chocolate is extra creamy homemade hot cocoa made with three types of chocolate. It's the ultimate drink for a holiday party or to serve on Christmas morning.

Ingredients
- 4 cups whole milk
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder sifted
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup milk chocolate chips
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- garnishes such as marshmallows, whipped cream and Christmas sprinkles
Instructions
- Place the milk, cocoa powder and sugar in a medium pot.
- Cook over medium low heat for 5 minutes, whisking occasionally, until the mixture is warm and the cocoa and sugar are thoroughly incorporated. You want the milk to be at a light simmer, but do not boil it.
- Add the milk chocolate and semisweet chocolate, then cook for another 3-4 minutes, whisking continuously.
- After the chocolate has fully melted into the milk, add the vanilla extract. Cook for 1 minute.
- Serve the hot chocolate in mugs topped with whatever garnishes you like.
Notes
- Use a high quality brand of chocolate chips for the best results. I prefer Guittard and Ghirardelli.
- It’s very important to make sure the mixture does not boil, as this could cause curdling or separation.
