Recipes for Killer Hot Chocolate
Tis the season for curling up by the fire, cuddling, playing in the snow and other winter festivities… What goes perfect with the chilly weather? Hot chocolate of course! Here’s a few of our favorite, non-traditional, guaranteed to make you say “yuuuum”, hot chocolate recipes.
First the basics:
Although most hot chocolate recipes indicate that hot water should be used, milk (skim, 2%, whole, whatever..) will make your hot chocolate richer, creamier and downright more delicious.
A good basic recipe to start with:
o 25 oz non-fat milk powder
o 16 oz non-dairy creamer powder
o oz presweetened cocoa mix
o 13 oz chocolate malted milk powder
o 1 cup powdered sugar
§ As you can see, this is a huge amount to prepare. Either store it in an air tight container or feel free to half or third the recipe.
§ If you are planning to add flavorings to the finished hot chocolate, cut down on some of the powdered sugar in order to not make it sickly sweet.
When you mix the above powder with your warmed milk, use no less than two teaspoons. Depending on your taste preference, you can add more for a richer, creamier taste.
An even simpler basic recipe:
o 2 cups milk
o 4 squares bakers chocolate
§ Melt the chocolate into the milk in a large saucepan.
§ can also mix up the kind of bakers chocolate that you use. Try semi-sweet if you’re going to be adding a lot of flavored syrups or milk if you’re going the pure route. Try a white chocolate hot chocolate for something completely different.
