Best Hot Chocolate
Serves: 4
If you’re feeling really decadent and fancy (as you should), add a splash of half-and-half or heavy cream to this hot chocolate just before serving.
Yield: 4 ServingsIngredients:
| 3 tablespoons | unsweetened cocoa (preferably dutch-processed), plus more for serving |
| 3 cups | whole milk |
| 6 ounces | semisweet chocolate |
| 3 tablespoons | granulated sugar |
| lightly sweetened whipped cream (for serving) |
Directions:
Bring ¾ cup water to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk in 3 Tbsp. cocoa powder until no lumps remain, then add milk and return to a simmer. Whisk in chocolate and sugar and cook, whisking frequently, until mixture is smooth and creamy and chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes.
Divide hot chocolate among mugs. Top with whipped cream and dust with cocoa powder.
