Velvety Hot Chocolate
What You Need
Ingredients
Preparation
This from-scratch hot chocolate proves that a few pantry staples and a small milk pot are all you need for something special. As the milk gently warms, cocoa and sugar dissolve into a velvety base, while a pinch of salt deepens the chocolate flavor. Stirring in semisweet chocolate at the end creates a luxuriously thick, glossy finish that feels far more decadent than this simple ingredient list suggests
-
In a HexClad .5QT Hybrid Milk Pot over medium-low, combine milk, sugar, cocoa powder and a pinch salt. Cook, whisking occasionally, until combined and milk starts bubbling around edges of pot, 5 to 7 minutes.
-
Remove from heat, add chocolate chips and whisk until chocolate is melted and mixture is combined.
-
Top with whipped cream, marshmallows and chocolate shavings, if you like.
