Homemade Hot Chocolate Recipe

This rich and decadent homemade hot chocolate recipe is filled with flavour. This recipe includes marshmallows, chocolate chips, milk and whipped cream.

This is the perfect comforting, homey drink to get you through the winter. It is easy to make and can be prepared in less than 10 minutes. This homemade hot chocolate tastes just as good as the hot chocolate from your favourite coffee shop – I promise!

I am not a big fan of instant hot chocolate because the chocolate flavour is not that intense. So, in this recipe I use cocoa powder and chocolate chips to add more flavour. I also added marshmallows, whipped cream and a chocolate flake (YUM!).

Homemade Hot Chocolate Recipe

1. Pour 3 cups of milk into a saucepan, add 3 tbsp of cocoa powder and 2-3 tbsp of sugar and 1 cup of chocolate chips. Heat the mixture on a low/medium heat and whisk until it is hot enough to serve (not boiling).

Note: This recipe serves 3 people. If you want to serve more or less people then change the ingredients in the recipe accordingly. For example, use 2 cups of milk, 2 tbsp of cocoa powder, 1-2 tbsp of sugar and 3/4 cup of chocolate chips for 2 servings.
