Ingredients
Scale
Hot Chocolate
- 4 cups milk (whole milk or 2%)
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Topping
- Large marshmallows
Instructions
- Combine Chocolate Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and cocoa powder until thoroughly combined and smooth.
- Heat Milk: In a large saucepan over medium heat, warm the milk until it starts to get warm but not boiling.
- Add Chocolate Mixture: Pour the chocolate mixture into the warm milk and whisk thoroughly until the mixture is completely combined and smooth.
- Simmer: Continue heating the hot chocolate over medium-low heat, stirring continuously. Heat until the mixture is steamy and hot but do not let it boil to avoid burning the bottom of the pan.
- Serve: Ladle the hot chocolate into mugs and top each serving with large marshmallows.
- Store and Reheat: Store any unused hot chocolate in a sealed container and refrigerate for up to two days. Reheat on the stove or in the microwave as desired.
Notes
- This hot chocolate is incredibly creamy and velvety smooth, making it an ideal comforting drink for cold weather or when you crave chocolate.
- Do not boil the mixture to prevent it from scorching at the bottom of the pan.
- Use whole or 2% milk for best creaminess; you may substitute with dairy alternatives but flavor and texture may vary.
- Add marshmallows just before serving to keep them from melting too fast.
