Hot Chocolate is a timeless beverage enjoyed across the world. Unlike regular cocoa, which is often lighter and made only with cocoa powder, hot chocolate is richer and creamier, prepared with real chocolate (dark, milk, or semi-sweet), milk, and sometimes cream.
It can be customized in endless ways – spiced with cinnamon or nutmeg, sweetened with honey or sugar, or topped with marshmallows, whipped cream, or even a drizzle of caramel. Warm, velvety, and indulgent, it’s the ultimate comfort drink.
In a saucepan, heat milk on medium flame (don’t boil).
Whisk in cocoa powder and sugar until smooth.
Add chopped chocolate and stir until it melts completely.
Mix in vanilla extract and simmer for 1 minute.
Pour into mugs and top with whipped cream or marshmallows.
