Hot Chocolate Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp. unsweetened cacao powder
- 3 cups coconut milk, whole milk or half and half
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- ½ tsp. ground cinnamon
- 2-3 tbsp. sugar (depending on how sweet you like it)
- ¼ tsp. sea salt
- Optional: Whipped Cream, Cacao Nibs, Orange Zest
Serves four.
Step 1: Simmer
Bring milk, cacao powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon, sugar, and salt to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Make sure it doesn’t scorch. Whisk until mixture is smooth and creamy, and the chocolate and sugar have dissolved.
Step 2: Serve
Divide hot chocolate among four mugs. Optional: Top with whipped cream, garnish with cacao nibs and orange zest. Serve and enjoy!
*Note: You can make this an “adult” hot chocolate by adding 3 oz. of bourbon or vodka after you remove the hot chocolate mixture from heat.
