Now that you've chosen your favourite instant hot chocolate powder, it's time to decide on your preferred milk. The beauty of making hot chocolate is that you can use any type of milk you like! Whether you go for classic dairy milk, almond milk, soy milk, or even coconut milk, the choice is yours.
Each type of milk adds a unique flavour and texture. For those looking to add a special twist to their indulgent treat, consider plant-based options like coconut milk, which can infuse your hot chocolate with a delightful nutty taste. So, go ahead and pick the milk that suits your taste buds and dietary preferences, and get ready to elevate your hot chocolate game to a whole new level of deliciousness!
How to Make an Indulgent Hot Chocolate
Indulgent hot chocolate is a breeze to make! Just start with high-quality cocoa powder and your preferred milk, add a touch of sweetness, and finish with whipped cream and cocoa powder. Voila! You'll have a decadent hot chocolate in a snap, perfect for cosy nights or anytime you crave a treat.
1. Add 3 Heaped Tablespoons of The Hot Chocolate Powder Into a Mug
Start by choosing your favourite mug; whether it's the festive Christmas Santa Character Mug for holiday cheer or the versatile Latte Glass Mug for year-round enjoyment. Then, add 3 heaped tablespoons of top-notch cocoa powder to your mug. It's a delightful treat made easy, and the perfect mug makes it even better!
2. Heat Your Preferred Milk on a Pan
For the perfect hot chocolate, start by gently heating 200ml of your preferred milk in a pan. Whether you like classic cow's milk, a dairy-free option like almond or oat milk, or even coconut milk, the choice is yours. Warming it in a pan lets you control the temperature for a silky-smooth hot chocolate. Heat up the 200ml of milk, and prepare for a delicious, comforting cup of hot chocolate that's truly one-of-a-kind!
3. Top Tip: Add Chunks of Chocolate Whilst it’s Simmering
Elevate your hot chocolate game with this top tip: add chocolate chunks while your milk simmers! It's the key to an ultra-chocolatey, indulgent brew. Use your favourite chocolate bars like Cadbury Dairy Milk, Galaxy Smooth Mint, or Milka Alpine Milk. As the milk simmers, the chocolate melts, infusing your hot chocolate with creamy richness.
4. Pour The Milk Into The Mug and Stir
Once your milk is hot, pour it into your mug and stir it with the cocoa powder for a delicious chocolatey blend. For a smoother mix without any lumps, grab a whisk to make it even more indulgent. Whisk away to create a creamy, lump-free hot chocolate that'll warm your soul!
5. Add Any Sweet Toppings, and Enjoy!
Now it's time to have some fun – add sweet toppings to elevate your hot chocolate into an extra-indulgent delight! Whether it's mini marshmallows, caramel sauce, or crushed candy canes, these treats will transform your drink. Marshmallow lovers, don't miss out on Haribo Chamallows to top off your creamy masterpiece.
