Ingredients
- 2 cups lowfat milk or rice milk
- 1/2 cup chopped chocolate pieces (milk chocolate, semi sweet, or dairy free)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- Dash salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 ripe banana, peeled and sliced
- Sugar (as needed to taste)
Instructions
- Warm the milk slowly over medium heat, stirring with a whisk, until the chocolate fully melts into the milk and creates a smooth chocolate liquid. This will take a few minutes-- don't rush the process by turning up the heat, or you'll end up with scorched milk. Heat up the mixture thoroughly until it's quite hot, but don't let it boil.
- Remove from heat and whisk in the vanilla, salt, and cinnamon until thoroughly dissolved.
- Place the banana slices in a blender.
- Carefully pour the hot liquid into the blender. Make sure your check your blender's manual on blending hot liquids; different blenders have different requirements for heated liquids. Alternatively, you may use an immersion blender for this step.
- Blend the mixture for about 30 seconds until smooth.Taste the drink; if your banana was not quite ripe, you may need to add a spoon or two of sugar to taste. Pour the banana hot chocolate into two large mugs or three smaller mugs.
- Serve immediately. The drink will thicken as it cools, and may need to be stirred briskly if left to sit too long.
