Hot Chocolate is one of the most well liked of recent trending meals on earth. It is enjoyed by millions daily. It is simple, it’s quick, it tastes yummy. Hot Chocolate is something that I have loved my whole life. They’re nice and they look wonderful.

To get started with this recipe, we have to first prepare a few components. You can cook hot chocolate using 10 ingredients and 8 steps. Here is how you cook that.

The ingredients needed to make Hot Chocolate:
  1. Take 1 cup full cream milk
  2. Take 1 cup cream
  3. Take 4 tsp milk powder
  4. Take 6 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  5. Make ready 1/4 bar dark chocolate
  6. Take 1/4 tsp vanilla essence
  7. Take 4 tsp Nutella(optional)
  8. Take 1 inch cinnamon stick(optional)
  9. Take 1 pinch salt
  10. Take as needed Sugar(if you’re not adding Nutella)
Steps to make Hot Chocolate:
  1. In a saucepan, combine milk, milk powder and cream and warm it up on low heat. Put in the cinnamon stick for it to release some flavour.
  2. Add bits of dark chocolate(the more the cocoa content, the darker it’ll get) and cocoa powder in a bowl, and add in one tablespoon of the hot milk in the saucepan to it. Mix with a whisk and ensure that there are no lumps.
  3. Now slowly pour the contents of the bowl into the saucepan and keep stirring.
  4. Add the vanilla and you’ll gradually see that the mixture will start to thicken. That’s because of the milk powder and cocoa powder. However, if it is not thick enough as per your choice, then in a separate bowl, mix 1/2 tsp cornstarch and 2 tsp water and then add this to the saucepan. This will thicken it immediately.
  5. After simmering for around 10 minutes, you can remove the cinnamon stick.
  6. Add Nutella to the saucepan now. This is what I used as the sweetener. However, if unavailable, simply replace it with 3-4 tsp of regular white sugar.
  7. Add a tiny pinch of salt to the mixture and you’re rich, creamy and delicious hot chocolate is ready to serve. Top it up with some marshmallows or with s’mores, or enjoy it as it is.
  8. Pro-Tip: I chose to get a hint of cinnamon in the hot chocolate but you can easily replace it with star anise and it’ll taste equally good. If you have an adventurous palate, then I’the recommend adding a bit of ginger and/or red chilli powder(a very tiny pinch). You can spike it up, too, with either Baileys or rum.
