World's best hot chocolate recipe

January 31, 2023

While Ashlee Marie's handmade World's BEST Hot Chocolate Recipe has become a viral hit on TikTok, it is not my original hot chocolate recipe. She says it is creamy, rich, and flavorful, just as hot chocolate should be.

You can quit purchasing hot chocolate packets since this recipe has only six essential ingredients and is far better made from scratch!

She has some detailed advice on how to prepare the ideal hot chocolate before commencing and diving into the recipe: The cocoa first blooms when the water and cocoa are boiled together. This disperses clumps, thickens the liquid, and—most importantly—releases flavour particles in the powder, producing a noticeably fuller flavour

Ingredients:
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 4 Cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla
Instructions:
  1. In a saucepan, mix the dry ingredients (cocoa powder, sugar and salt)
  2. Add the water and bring it to a boil; keep boiling for one minute
  3. After the mixture has been brought to a boil, add the milk.
  4. Heat until it's the temp you like.
  5. Take off the heat and add the vanilla, stir and serve

Optional: Add whip cream, sprinkles, and cinnamon and decorate until your heart is desired!

 I sincerely hope you like this recipe. It may be a sweet way to relax before exams, spend quality time with your family, or even spend quality time with your significant other. Keep warm and cozy throughout the winter months!
