Ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- 4 heaped Tablespoons cream of wheat
Topping
- 2 Tablespoons cocoa powder unsweetened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted
Instructions
- Pour 2 cups milk into a saucepan and place it on the stove. Heat the milk over medium-high heat until it is lukewarm, but not hot.
- Remove the milk from the heat and stir in 4 heaped Tablespoons Cream of Wheat. Whisk gently to prevent lumps from forming. Return the saucepan to the heat.
- Still over medium heat, cook until thickened. Stir constantly to avoid lumps.
- Spread the Krupicová kaše on a wide plate and generously sprinkle with a mixture of granulated sugar and dark cocoa powder.
- Pour over the melted butter (each portion about 1 and ½ Tablespoon) and serve immediately.

Notes
- The basic recipe makes 2 portions.
- The Czech substitute for Cream of Wheat is Dětská krupička.
- Using granulated sugar in the topping will give it a crunchy texture. If you prefer a smoother consistency, feel free to substitute granulated sugar with powdered sugar.
- In addition to cocoa powder, some Czechs also enjoy sprinkling Krupicová kaše with a combination of ground cinnamon and sugar.
- How to eat Krupicová kaše? I suggest eating it in a circular motion around the edges of the plate, gradually working toward the center, where there is usually most of the topping and butter.
