Note

  • Milk: Whole milk creates a creamier hot chocolate, but you can use any type of milk, including almond, oat, or soy, to suit your dietary preferences.
  • Sweetness: Adjust the amount of sugar to taste. For a deeper chocolate flavor, reduce the sugar slightly.
  • Texture: For an even richer texture, you can add a splash of cream or half-and-half along with the milk.
  • Additional Flavors: Experiment with adding a pinch of cinnamon, a dash of espresso powder, or a splash of peppermint extract for a festive twist.

Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:
Can I use Dutch-process cocoa powder?

Yes, you can use either natural or Dutch-process cocoa powder. Dutch-process will give a smoother, less acidic flavor, while natural cocoa powder has a more robust, slightly tangy taste.

What if I don’t have vanilla extract?

Vanilla extract adds a subtle depth of flavor, but the hot chocolate will still be delicious without it. You can also experiment with other extracts, like almond or peppermint.

How can I make the hot chocolate thicker?

For a thicker consistency, you can add a small amount of cornstarch (about ½ teaspoon) to the dry ingredients before adding the milk. Another option is to use a bit of heavy cream in place of some of the milk.

Can I make this recipe vegan?

    • Absolutely! Use a non-dairy milk like almond, soy, or oat milk, and ensure your cocoa powder and sugar are vegan-friendly. Skip the whipped cream or use a dairy-free alternative.

  •  

How do I store leftover hot chocolate?

Hot chocolate is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, stirring well, before serving.
