BEST Hot Chocolate

Heat

In a saucepan over medium heat, bring the milk, cacao powder, and maple syrup to a simmer. Stir until there&#039;s no clumps.

Add the finely chopped chocolate and whisk for about 3-5 minutes, or until the hot chocolate is smooth.

Pour

Pour the hot chocolate into mugs, and if you&#039;d like, top with whipped cream, coconut whipped cream or homemade marshmallows and a sprinkle of cacao powder.

Are you ready for the best hot chocolate you'll ever taste? This recipe is sumptuously rich, velvety smooth, and perfect for warming up throughout the winter season.

Unlike its close cousin hot cocoa, which is made from only cocoa powder, chocolate is an essential ingredient for hot chocolate. I prefer a semi-sweet or dark chocolate which has a distinctly rich flavor that tastes amazing when whisked with milk. And speaking of milk, you can make this dairy or dairy-free! So choose your favorite milk - they all work great.
