Hot Chocolate Recipe for One
Cozy up with a cup of hot chocolate and relax all by yourself.
- 1 c milk
- ¼ c cream
- 1 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1½ Tbsp sugar
- ¼ tsp vanilla or almond extract
- whipped cream and toppings to garnish
Combine cocoa, sugar, and about 2 tablespoons milk in a pan. Cook on medium-low heat, stirring constantly until cocoa and sugar are dissolved.
Whisk in milk and cream on medium heat until hot.
Remove from heat and stir in your choice of extract.
If you like it frothy, blend it in the blender. (Remember that when blending a hot liquid you should only fill blender half full or less, so don’t use the individual sized blender container.) Or use frother if you have one.
Serve in a large mug and garnish with whipped cream and your favorite toppings.
