Hot Chocolate! Who doesn’t like Hot Chocolate? Right? Hot Chocolate, the creamy, chocolaty drink with a hint of coffee is perfect for any season, but it tastes extra special in this season, Winters. It is one of the most simplest drinks to make and kids love it.

I always associate hot chocolate with London. I had my first cup of Hot Chocolate in London at Starbucks. As silly as it may sound, I was always fascinated by having coffee and hot chocolate in those take away cups, wearing my long jacket, leather boots, and walking with that cup in my hand. Totally like in the movies. And I still remember how excited I was to get that first take away of Hot Chocolate :).  And now I love making them during winters and enjoy it with my son.

Now that it is Christmas season, I can not wait to make many more of our favourites like Eggnog, Cookies, Pavalova, Meringues and not to forget the Fruit Cake.

Ingredients
1/4 cup – Fresh cream
1 cup – Milk
2 tbsp – Chopped dark chocolate
1/4 tsp – Cinnamon powder ( more if you like)
A pinch – Instant coffee powder
Sugar to taste

Hot Chocolate, the creamy, chocolaty drink with a hint of coffee is perfect for any season, but it tastes extra special in this season, Winters. Hot Chocolate is one of the most simplest drinks to make and kids love it. 

Method

Heat cream in a sauce pan. Do not boil. Just heat.

Add chopped chocolate to this and whisk using a balloon whisk , till the chocolate melts.

Add cinnamon powder, coffee powder and whisk again.

Add boiled milk and sugar to this and whisk using a balloon whisk till everything comes well together.

Boil the milk for couple of minutes.

Serve it with a cinnamon stick for some extra flavour and some Ginger cookies 🙂

* . If you like thick hot chocolate then increase the amount of cream and reduce the milk.

Adding just a pinch of coffee powder enhances the chocolate flavour.

I would suggest not adding more coffee powder, as it will take away the chocolatey flavour and will taste more like coffee.
