gourmet hot chocolate

Italian Hot Chocolate is so rich, thick and luxuriously creamy, it seems indulgent! My gourmet hot chocolate recipe takes 15 mins. to make!

Italian Hot Chocolate

milk

salt

cocoa powder

sugar

chocolate

cornstarch

vanilla extract

Set aside 1/2 cup of the whole milk.

To a medium saucepan, over medium heat, add remaining 3 1/2 cups of milk, salt, cocoa powder, and sugar. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.

Add the dark chocolate and stir until melted.

To the reserved ½ cup milk, add cornstarch and stir until fully dissolved.

With the chocolate mixture still simmering, whisk in the cornstarch slurry. Continue cooking, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes, until the mixture thickens.

Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract, and serve immediately. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

This homemade Peppermint Hot Chocolate recipe is made with 6 ingredients in 6 minutes! It has two kinds of chocolate so it&#39;s ultra-rich and creamy and it&#39;s flavored with candy canes instead of expensive extracts. Watch the video to learn how to make homemade candy cane hot chocolate!
