Homemade cocoa hot chocolate

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 10 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make homemade hot chocolate from cocoa powder? Prepare your food. For such a drink, take natural cocoa, without additives; powder like Nesquik will not work. You can take cream of any fat content, to your taste. Both potato and corn starch are suitable. Take twice as much corn. In a hot chocolate maker, combine cocoa and cornstarch.

2. STEP 2

   

   Add cold water to the ladle and stir until the cocoa powder and cornstarch are evenly combined. Then place the ladle over low heat and heat the mixture, stirring constantly, until the ingredients dissolve.

3. STEP 3

   

   Next, pour the cream into the ladle and continue heating with constant stirring.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil. Stir constantly so that nothing burns to the bottom.

5. STEP 5

   

   Boil the hot chocolate for about a minute after boiling.

6. STEP 6

   

   Immediately pour the hot drink into prepared glasses and help yourself. A pleasant addition to such a drink would be a handful of marshmallows added to it. From the high temperature of the drink they will begin to melt and it will be even tastier! Enjoy your treat!

On a gloomy autumn morning I want something hot and chocolatey) I made myself a cup of hot chocolate according to another recipe from my piggy bank. The chocolate came out thick, I ate it with a spoon) Hot chocolate is always covered with a dark crust on top, I love it the most. And inside is a delicate, lighter soufflé. I guess hot chocolate needs to be more fluid to be drinkable, but I add a little more starch and it's a chocolate dessert. In addition, the fattier the cream, the thicker and more tender the chocolate mass will be. I used 20%, it turned out quite tender and creamy. They should be enjoyed hot, that's all the charm. Better yet, go outside with a cup of hot chocolate, wrap yourself in a warm blanket and look at the golden autumn leaves. Thank you, the recipe suited me, very tasty!

I never thought that hot chocolate could be made at home. Loved this drink! Next time I’ll add another square of dark chocolate and more marshmallows (instead of some of the sugar).
