How to Make Hot Chocolate

How to make hot chocolate from scratch. With cocoa powder, chopped chocolate, and milk, this simple recipe is fast and way better than a mix!
Share:
Ingredients
- 4 cups 2% milk whole milk, or non-dairy milk of choice (I do not recommend skim, as it will be watery)
- 8 ounces semi-sweet or dark chocolate chopped (50 to 60 percent)
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar plus additional to taste
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon optional
- ¼ teaspoon espresso powder or instant coffee optional
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, chocolate, cocoa powder, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and espresso powder.
- Heat over medium, whisking frequently, until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Do not let the mixture boil and whisk often.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Taste and add additional sugar 1 teaspoon at a time until your desired flavor is reached (if you are using chocolate closer to 60%, you may want one or 2 teaspoons more). Enjoy immediately, or transfer to a slow cooker to keep warm.
Notes
- TO STORE: After cooling to room temperature, store in a covered container in fridge. Hot chocolate is best served within a day.
- TO REHEAT: Warm in microwave or in saucepan on the stove until steaming.
