Bitchin' Hot Chocolate : )

This is the creamiest, smoothest most indulgent hot chocolate I've ever had. Its very rich so one cup is usually enough. Unless your feeling glutenous.

Now, first make the mix...Put it into a nice glass jar with an airtight lid or a nice tin with an airtight lid. I keep mine in a cute vintage coca cola tin thats been thouroughly cleaned. But any container will work.

So, in your chosen receptical, put the following:
  • 4 heaped tablespoons good cocoa powder
  • 3 heaped tablespoons icing sugar
  • 2 heaped tablespoons of Horlicks or any other powdered malted drink
  • 2 heaped tablespoons of cornflour
  • A pinch of salt 
  • 100g Dark Chocolate, grated. 
You can use milk chocolate if you want a really sweet hot chocolate. I also don't grate mine, i use chocolate chips but grated chocolate does melt easier. It really depends on how lazy you are haha.

Now, shake that jar. Shake it baby. Make sure all the powders and chocolate are well mixed.

To Make The Hot Chocolate:
  1. Over a low heat, simmer some milk. Type of milk is up to you. I fill up the mugs i'm gonna use with milk before i pour into the pan to know how much milk i need. But a pint usually does 3 people.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of mix for every cup/person your making the hot chocolate for.
  3. Whisk together until all the chocolate melts and then just heat through
  4. Keep whisking until its nice and hot.
Pour into fancy cups, pour on some whipped cream and marshmallows and enjoy. Be careful, its pretty hot.
