Ingredients
- ½ cup + 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa (dutch processed) (56 grams total)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 5 cups milk (2% or whole miklk) divided
- 1 cup cream heavy, whole or whipping cream
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
EXTRAS
- ½ cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup Whipped Cream
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan whisk together the cocoa, sugar and salt, stir in a ¼ cup of milk to make a paste, whisk together until smooth, add remaining milk and cream.
- Over medium low heat, whisking occasionally until tiny bubbles appear around the edge, remove from heat and add the vanilla, whisking until smooth. Pour into mugs and top with mini marshmallows or whipped cream. Enjoy!
Notes
- For the best taste you will want to use at least 2% milk. Whole milk would also be a great choice in this comforting drink. You can use skim milk but the drink will not be as creamy. If you need to use non-dairy milk, you can use any nut milk or coconut milk as well as a dairy free cream.
- While this easy hot chocolate recipe tastes best fresh you can make it ahead of time. Assemble cocoa as directed and then store in the refrigerator for 2-3 days in an airtight container, mason jar or bottle.
- To reheat the cocoa, simmer the desired amount in a saucepan to avoid boiling and causing the cream to separate.
