Homemade Hot Cocoa Recipe

Skip the packets and make your hot cocoa from scratch, it’s easy! Here’s the recipe:

- Heat up your pot on medium/low heat

- Add 1.5 cups of milk

- After milk is warm, stir in 1/2 cup of chocolate (I use dark!)

- Stir and combine a pinch of salt and cinnamon

- Stir and combine 2tbsp of unsweetened cocoa powder and 2tbsp of sugar

- mix in a separate container 1tbsp of cornstarch and 2tbsp of water

- slowly mix in the cornstarch slurry you just made

- top off with marshmallows, peppermint, or your choice of topping! Enjoy!

Homemade hot cocoa is a timeless winter treat that can be enjoyed by the whole family. This simple recipe requires just a few basic ingredients, making it accessible for anyone looking to indulge in a delicious cup of hot chocolate. Start by warming up milk in a pot—this forms the creamy base of your cocoa. Dark chocolate is recommended for a rich flavor, and adding a pinch of salt and cinnamon enhances the overall taste, balancing the sweetness perfectly. In addition to the chocolate, the unsweetened cocoa powder provides a deep cocoa flavor, while sugar adds the necessary sweetness. The cornstarch slurry thickens the mixture, creating a luscious consistency. Don't forget the toppings! Customize your hot cocoa by adding fluffy marshmallows, crushed peppermint, or even a sprinkle of cocoa powder on top. For an extra special touch, you can blend in flavored syrups or whipped cream. This homemade version is a delightful upgrade from store-bought packets, making each sip a cozy experience. Enjoy your delicious homemade hot cocoa while snuggled up with a good book or enjoyed with loved ones!
