"This hot chocolate recipe is so much better than a powdered mix! Made with two types of chocolate-a chopped bar and cocoa powder-it's deliciously rich, creamy, and just the right amount of sweet. It's super easy to make too-it comes together with 5 simple ingredients in under 10 minutes. We've already made this homemade hot chocolate a few times this December, and I have a feeling that it'll stay on repeat all month long."
"Milk - Any kind! Whole milk will create the thickest, richest texture, though I've also had great results using a plant-based milk like almond milk or oat milk. Chopped dark chocolate - The key ingredient that sets this recipe apart from a hot cocoa mix! It makes this hot chocolate thick, creamy, and intensely chocolatey. I typically use a 70% dark chocolate bar, but feel free to use whatever level you like best. The lower the percentage, the sweeter the hot chocolate will be."
Homemade hot chocolate uses milk, chopped dark chocolate, cocoa powder, granulated sugar (or maple syrup), and vanilla to create a thick, creamy beverage. Combining melted chocolate with cocoa powder deepens chocolate flavor and produces a richer texture than powdered mixes. Whole milk yields the richest result, while almond or oat milk can be used for a dairy-free alternative. Chocolate percentage controls sweetness and intensity. The drink comes together quickly—about ten minutes—and serves as a comforting winter treat. Optional toppings include whipped cream, marshmallows, and shaved chocolate for extra indulgence.
