Simple Silky Hot Chocolate

A really easy way of making a silky and luxurious hot chocolate. This is my favourite drinking consistency; not so thick that it feels like you’re drinking liquid ganache, but not so thin it tastes too milky. I like to use a mixture of milk and dark chocolate so that you have depth of flavour as well as a little sweetness. I love topping mine with a marble mint choc chip marshmallow! The recipe for those can be found here.

Ingredients - makes 4 small hot chocolates

480ml milk of your choice
75g dark chocolate, broken up
75g milk chocolate, broken up
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp cocoa powder

Method
Place all the ingredients into a saucepan over low heat. Continue to heat while lightly whisking until all of the chocolate has melted and it is steaming. Serve. Can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days and heated before serving.
