Description
Rich, creamy homemade hot chocolate made on the stovetop for cozy winter days.
Ingredients
2 cups milk
1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 tablespoon brown sugar
Pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. To a saucepan, add milk, chocolate chips, cocoa powder, brown sugar and salt and place over low-medium heat.
2. Whisking occasionally, allow the milk to warm and the chocolate chips to melt, continue whisking until the mixture is warm and steamy, not boiling, and homogenous. This should take about 10 minutes or so.
3. Take the pan off the burner and add the vanilla.
4. Serve warm with whipped cream or marshmallows!
Notes
Use whole milk for the creamiest texture. Add a dash of cinnamon or espresso for extra flavor.
