Let’s Make The Best Hot Chocolate Mix
Ingredients For Thick Hot Chocolate:
- 2 cups of whole milk (you can use non-dairy milk for a vegan option)
- 1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup of coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup of heavy cream (or coconut cream for a vegan option)
- 1/2 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
- Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)
Equipment For Thick Hot Chocolate:
- Saucepan
- Whisk
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Your favorite mug
Instructions:
- Heat the Milk: Start by pouring the two cups of whole milk into a saucepan and place it over medium heat. Heat the milk until it's steaming but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent a skin from forming on top.
- Sift Cocoa Powder: While the milk is heating, sift the 1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder into a separate bowl. This step helps to remove any lumps and ensures your hot chocolate is smooth and velvety.
- Combine Cocoa and Coconut Sugar: In another bowl, combine the sifted cocoa powder and the 1/4 cup of coconut sugar. The coconut sugar will add a wonderful caramel-like sweetness to your hot chocolate.
- Mix Cocoa-Sugar Mixture into Milk: Once the milk is steaming, add the cocoa-sugar mixture to the saucepan. Use a whisk to combine the ingredients, making sure there are no clumps. Continue to heat the mixture, stirring constantly, for about 2-3 minutes until it's well incorporated and the mixture begins to thicken slightly.
- Add Heavy Cream and Vanilla: Pour in the 1/4 cup of heavy cream (or coconut cream for a vegan option) and the 1/2 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract. Stir well to combine, and continue to heat the mixture until it's hot but not boiling.
- Season with a Pinch of Salt: Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors of the hot chocolate. Stir to incorporate it into the mixture.
- Serve Your Creamy Coconut Sugar Hot Chocolate: Pour your creamy hot chocolate into your favorite mug. You can top it with a dollop of whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or a dusting of cocoa powder for an extra indulgent touch.
