Ingredients

  • 2 cups lowfat milk or rice milk
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chopped pieces; milk chocolate or semi sweet or dairy free
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • Dash salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 banana ripe, peeled and sliced
  • sugar as needed to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. Remove from heat and whisk in the vanilla, salt, and cinnamon until thoroughly dissolved.
  3. Place the banana slices in a blender.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Serve immediately. The drink will thicken as it cools, and may need to be stirred briskly if left to sit too long.
