Ingredients
- 3 cups 2% milk or full fat
- ⅓ - ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ⅓ cup sugar (or a natural granulated sweetener that measure 1:1 with sugar to save calories)
- 375 ml evaporated milk evaporated milk, for a richer flavour, do not use skim or light
Instructions
- Whisk together the milk, cocoa powder and sugar in a medium-sized saucepan, over medium heat. When the cocoa powder has dissolved and the ingredients have combined together, bring the milk to a simmer. Reduce heat and continue steaming for a further 5 minutes.
- Stir in the evaporated milk and allow it to heat through the cocoa milk for a further 2 minutes, and serve.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- *If you like a rich hot chocolate, use a dark cocoa powder or dutch cocoa powder. Start with ⅓ cup, and add more as needed. I find ½ cup rich enough using a dark cocoa powder, but please adjust to your tastes. If you like a milder hot chocolate, use a light coloured cocoa powder such as Hershey's, and adjust as above.
