Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 6 ounces Dark chocolate (70% cacao or higher), finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Milk powder
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cocoa powder, granulated sugar, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, nutmeg, salt, and cornstarch (if using). Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
Add the finely chopped dark chocolate and milk powder to the bowl. Stir well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Transfer the mixture to an airtight container or a resealable jar for storage. It can be stored in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.
To prepare a serving of hot chocolate, heat 1 cup of milk (or a milk substitute) in a small saucepan over medium heat until hot but not boiling.
Add 2 tablespoons of the hot chocolate mix to the hot milk, whisking constantly until fully dissolved and smooth. If you prefer a thicker texture, let the mixture simmer for an additional minute while stirring.
Pour into a mug and serve immediately. For an extra touch, top with whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or even a pinch of cayenne for added heat.
