I am a hot chocolate nut!! My friend Candi mentioned to me one time that her favorite part of The Santa Clause movie was when the little girl elf ( I can't remember her name) brings in the cocoa and says it took her 2,000 years to get it right. This inspired me to work on my very own recipe! It took some time and a lot of experimenting but I finally got it right so, now I'm gonna share the finished product with you!!
These are the ingredients you need
Water, Whole Milk, Sweetened Condensed Milk, Hershey's Cocoa, Sugar, Heavy Whipping Cream and Salt
Start by putting 1/3 cup of water in a large pot and whisking in 1/4 cup of cocoa and 1/4 cup of sugar then sprinkle a little salt on top of this mixture. Now turn your heat on medium to medium low and whisk lightly until it begins to bubble.
( My little whisking machine)
At this time begin to slowly pour in a 1/2 of a can of sweetened condensed milk. Now wait for this to begin to bubble. You should have a pot of thick chocolaty goodness, now you can pour in 5 cups of milk and let it heat. Don't let it come to a boil just let it get good and hot without boiling!! While your milk is heating take a 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream and pour it into a separate bowl and get a big pinch of sugar and sprinkle over it and then mix with your mixer until you get soft peeks. Now that your Hot Chocolate is warm and your fresh cream is ready ladle you some hot chocolate in a cup and put a big spoonful of cream on the top, or small which ever you pefer and then drink slowly and enjoy!!!
