Homemade Hot Chocolate
Report
Make a quick homemade hot chocolate with chocolate chips, cocoa powder, and milk for an easy, decadent, and cozy treat!
Share:
Ingredients
- 2 ounces chocolate or about ¼ cup of chocolate chips (use dark or semi-sweet for a richer flavor)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups milk (I use 2%)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup sugar (or more or less, to taste)
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- Optional toppings: whipped cream, marshmallows, shaved chocolate
Instructions
- Combine all of the ingredients in a saucepan over low heat. Stir constantly until the chocolate melts, the sugar dissolves, and the beverage reaches desired temperature. Do not let the mixture boil.
- Pour into a mugs and garnish with desired toppings.
Notes
- Choose a high-quality dark or semisweet chocolate for the best, rich flavor. I like Lindt 78% dark chocolate. Chocolate chips will also work!
- Adjust the amount of sugar to suit your taste. If you want a less-sweet hot chocolate, cut the sugar in half. If your kids like a sweeter drink, add more sugar.
