Photo: Super Thick Hot Chocolate Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 cups milk
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- Pinch ground cinnamon
Directions
In a saucepan, combine the milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla and warm up over a low heat.
Combine the cocoa powder, sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon in another bowl. Whisk the cocoa mixture into the warm milk mixture. Whisk the mixture frequently to prevent it from scorching.
Remove the mixture from the heat just after it has come to a boil. The mixture should be suuuuuper rich and thick!
Cook's Note: For grown-up kids: A shot of brandy, kahlua, or peppermint schnapps is really yummy!

I'm always looking for the ultimate hot chocolate recipe and was hoping this would be it, but I'm just not sure. Even though it was thick it didn't have a rich, chocolaty taste. I may try to modify it somewhat along the lines of some reviewers or just keep searching for that elusive "ultimate".

I LOVED this recipe. I can't stand hot chocolate that is watered down and thin. I find it so hard to find a rich hot chocolate. This hot chocolate isn't particularly rich since there is no melted chocolate or heavy cream, but the cornstarch thickens it and tricks you a little. You wouldn't know the difference. Although! I think the chocolate taste wasn't particularly strong so I suggest using a very high-quality cocoa powder (dutch processed if possible like Valhrona. Something that has strong cocoa flavor on its' own. Hershey's just won't do this recipe justice.
