Homemade Hot Chocolate
Homemade Hot Chocolate flavored with spices is the perfect drink to get cozy up with in cold weather.
Servings: 1 or 2
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon cocoa powder Dutch-processed preferred, 12 g
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar 11 g
- A pinch of cinnamon
- A pinch of nutmeg
- 2 tablespoon heavy cream 28 g
- 1 ½ cup milk 12 oz, 340 g
Instructions
- Add cocoa powder, sugar and spices to a small bowl. Add heavy cream and mix with a spoon until a thick paste forms.
- Heat milk in a small pot over medium heat until simmering, add the cocoa paste to the hot milk and stir until it dissolves completely.
- Pour hot cocoa into cups. Garnish with whipped cream and sprinkle with spices.
Notes
- Use cinnamon, nutmeg or a mixture of spices like apple pie spice or pumpkin pie spice to flavor the hot cocoa.
- Use whole milk for the best result, but 2% milk can be used though the hot cocoa won’t be as creamy. I don’t recommend low fat milk for this recipe.
