Hot Chocolate Base

Method

Prepare Hot Chocolate

  1. 1

    Heat the Milk

    In a medium saucepan, heat 2 cups of milk over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.

  2. 2

    Add Cocoa and Sugar

    Once the milk is warm (not boiling), whisk in 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar until completely dissolved.

  3. 3

    Flavor the Mixture

    Add 0.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor. Stir well to combine.

  4. 4

    Heat Until Hot

    Continue to heat the mixture until it is hot but not boiling, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.

Prepare Toppings

  1. 5

    Whip the Cream

    In a separate bowl, use a hand mixer or whisk to whip 1 cup of heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. This should take about 3-5 minutes.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Hot Chocolate

    Pour the hot chocolate into mugs, top with a generous scoop of whipped cream, and sprinkle mini marshmallows on top. Optionally, add chocolate shavings for extra indulgence.
