I was messing around in my kitchen one day and was craving hot cocoa. Since I only had dark chocolate on hand, I used that, and for a festive touch added cinnamon. Pour into a mug and top with whipped cream or marshmallows, if desired. Serve hot.

Dark Chocolate Hot Cocoa

milk

brown sugar,

chocolate

heavy whipping cream,

ground cinnamon,

Heat milk in a saucepan over medium heat until just before boiling, 3 to 4 minutes. Add brown sugar and stir until dissolved, about 1 minute. Stir dark chocolate into milk until melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and stir cream and cinnamon into milk mixture.


Where has this recipe been all my life? I would give this 10 stars if I could. The taste is rich and creamy and tastes like all the good things in life in a mug. I used coconut cream and heavy coconut cream instead of dairy versions. I used whipped coconut cream too. Top this with some cayenne pepper! This will make you hate those cold dreary days a bit less! Thank you Aurora for this heavenly cup of chocolate goodness!

Perfect. Added a tablespoon of flour for that Haitian touch.

Rich rich rich. I melted my chocolate in a double boiler. Actually it was a glass bowl over a pan of boiling water. I warmed my milk in a pan with sugar & cinnamon on other burner. Then added it to melted chocolate gradually whisking it in. I never added cream...I had it out but was so impressed with its thickness and richness I never added any cream I used fat boy milk alias whole milk! That probably made the difference! Numnum Nummy!

Saved as a favorite. Perfect as is. Step it up as you wish.

Very awesome! Made one exactly as written (but using 1%-thats what we drink) it was super tasty and rich. The second mug I again used 1% with a teaspoon of honey instead of brown sugar. They were both great.

It was too thick to drink. I plan to try it again with 1oz of dark chocolate.

Yum! I happened  to have some 85% chocolate so this recipe was perfect. I didn’t have heavy cream so used whipped topping instead. Left out the cinnamon just because I wanted to try the taste of the dark chocolate without it.

Great cocoa! Tasted amazing with the touch of cinnamon!!
