Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Cream of Wheat
- 2 cups Milk
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 2 tablespoons Chocolate chips (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, water, and salt. Place the pan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Once the liquid is simmering, gradually whisk in the Cream of Wheat to prevent lumps from forming.
Reduce the heat to low and continue whisking for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture begins to thicken.
Add the cocoa powder and sugar to the saucepan. Whisk thoroughly until the cocoa powder is fully incorporated and the porridge has a smooth consistency.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the porridge reaches your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and butter until fully melted and mixed in.
Ladle the chocolate Cream of Wheat into serving bowls. Top with chocolate chips and whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
