Making a hot chocolate brew does not have to be that hard. Here’s a recipe with just two ingredients for the perfect hot chocolate: milk chocolate pellets and milk.
Now, let’s make the perfect hot chocolate:
Ingredients:
- 50g milk chocolate pellets
- 250ml whole milk
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Marshmallows (optional)
Instructions:
- In a small saucepan, combine the milk chocolate pellets and about 60ml (1/4 cup) of the milk.
- Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly with a whisk or spatula. The chocolate will begin to melt and combine with the milk.
- As the chocolate melts, gradually increase the heat to medium-low, continuing to stir. This process helps create a smooth, lump-free chocolate base.
- Once the chocolate has fully melted and combined with the milk, slowly add the remaining milk while stirring constantly.
- Continue to heat the mixture, stirring frequently, until it reaches your desired temperature. Be careful not to let it boil.
- Remove from heat and whisk vigorously for about 30 seconds to create a light foam on top.
- Pour the hot chocolate into your Lucky Cuppa smart mug.
- If desired, top with whipped cream and marshmallows.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your perfectly rich and creamy hot chocolate!
Tips:
- For an extra indulgent drink, try using a mix of milk and cream.
- Experiment with different flavours by adding a drop of peppermint extract, a pinch of cinnamon, or even a dash of sea salt.
Enjoy your luxurious hot chocolate experience!
