Creamy Hot Cocoa

Creamy Hot Cocoa

Published on June 22, 2016 | By

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/3 cup boiling water
  • 3 1/2 cups milk
  • 3/4 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 cup half and half cream (I just used additional milk and was plenty creamy!)

Instructions

  1. Combine the coca, sugar, and salt in a saucepan.
  2. Blend in the boiling water. Bring mixture to an easy boil while you stir.
  3. Simmer and stir for about 2 minutes. Watch that it doesn't scorch.
  4. Stir in milk and heat until very hot, but do not boil. Remove from heat and add vanilla.
  5. Add the cream to the mugs of cocoa to cool it to drinking temperature.
  6. Note: I made this again on Christmas and warmed everything up in the crockpot. It kept it warm all day. Just put the milk in the crockpot and add the hot cocoa/sugar mixture to it and warm it up. I have also found that this recipe is SUPER chocolately and you could probably add more milk and stretch it out a bit.
