Italian Hot Chocolate
A super rich and thick, Italian hot chocolate beverage.
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (good quality)
- 6 oz whole milk
- 1 oz dark chocolate (or bittersweet- broken into small pieces)
- 1 ½ tsp sugar (more or less, to taste)
- 1 tsp corn starch
Instructions
- Put the cocoa into a small pot (off the cooktop) and add about a tablespoon or two of the milk to whisk into a paste, then add the remaining milk and continue whisking. I use this mini-whisk from OXO as it's perfect for jobs like this.
- Place the pot over medium heat and continue to whisk; add the broken chocolate. Keep whisking until the chocolate has melted.
- Next, add the sugar and stir.
- Continue to whisk the mixture while adding the corn starch, before the hot chocolate comes to a boil.
- Turn up the heat and whisk briskly to keep the mixture smooth. As soon as it comes to a boil, remove from the heat and pour into a mug. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Adjust the sugar to your liking and add more or less corn starch to suit your degree of how thick the hot chocolate is.
