Description

This Homemade Hot Chocolate is thick, creamy, and packed with rich chocolate flavor. Made with real cocoa and milk, it’s the perfect cozy drink for chilly days!

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups whole milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (for extra creaminess)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (enhances flavor)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 oz semisweet or dark chocolate, finely chopped (optional, for richer flavor)

For Toppings (Optional):

 

  • Whipped cream
  • Mini marshmallows
  • Chocolate shavings
  • Cinnamon or cocoa powder (for dusting)

Instructions

  • Heat the milk & cream: In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the milk and heavy cream until hot but not boiling. Stir occasionally.
  • Whisk in cocoa & sugar: Add cocoa powder, sugar, and salt. Whisk continuously until smooth and dissolved.
  • Melt the chocolate (optional): Stir in chopped chocolate and continue whisking until fully melted and creamy.
  • Add vanilla & serve: Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract, and pour into mugs.

 

  • Garnish & enjoy: Top with whipped cream, marshmallows, or chocolate shavings for an extra indulgent treat!

Notes

  • Dairy-free option: Use almond, oat, or coconut milk, and replace heavy cream with full-fat coconut milk.
  • Spiced version: Add a pinch of cinnamon or cayenne for a Mexican hot chocolate twist.

 

  • Extra thick: Stir in 1 tablespoon cornstarch while heating for a thicker, European-style hot chocolate.
