THE BEST HOT CHOCOLATE

Categories     dessert

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 cups whole milk
1 cup half-and-half
1/4 cup good quality Dutch process cocoa powder
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Serving suggestions: Marshmallow Footballs, recipe follows
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup light corn syrup
3/4 cup sugar
2 egg whites
1 tablespoon gelatin
2 tablespoons cold water
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Place milk and half-and-half in a saucepan and heat to a simmer over medium heat.
  • Meanwhile, stir together the cocoa powder, sugar, and cinnamon. A few teaspoons at a time, stir the hot milk into the cocoa mixture to make a smooth paste. Scrape the cocoa mixture into the saucepan with the milk and simmer 2 minutes; do not let it boil. Stir in the vanilla and keep warm in a thermos.
  • Pour into small serving cups and place 4 mini-marshmallows on each serving or spritz them with whipped cream. Serve immediately.
  • Make the marshmallows: Combine the water, the corn syrup, and the sugar in a saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer. Bring to a boil and boil to "soft-ball" stage, or about 235 degrees F.
  • Meanwhile, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form. Sprinkle the gelatin over the 2 tablespoons water and let sponge.
  • When the syrup reaches 235 degrees F, remove it from the heat, add the gelatin, and mix. Pour the syrup into the whipped egg whites. Add the vanilla and continue whipping until stiff.
  • Cover a sheet pan with parchment paper then sprinkle it with powdered sugar. Pour the marshmallow onto the pan and spread it out. Let cool about 2 hours then with a pair of scissors dipped in cornstarch, cut out football shapes.

BEST EVER HOT COCOA MIX



Best Ever Hot Cocoa Mix image

White chocolate is the ingredient that provides a soft, creamy texture to this hot cocoa mix that's rich and chocolaty...and ready in less than five minutes. Recipe by Jeremy Sauer.

Provided by GREG IN SAN DIEGO

Categories     Beverages

Time 9m

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 cups nonfat dry milk powder
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 cups Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Combine ingredients in large bowl.
  • Working in two batches, pulse ingredients in food processor until chocolate is finely ground.
  • Store in airtight container for up to 3 months.
  • Too make hot cocoa, stir 1/3 cup of the mix into 1 cup of hot (not boiling) milk.
  • Top with whipped cream or mini marshmallows and a little chocolate powder. I sometimes use cinnamon or nutmeg powder, instead. A little brandy and a crackling fire make for a real treat!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality cocoa powder. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your hot chocolate. Look for a cocoa powder that is labeled "unsweetened" and has a high percentage of cocoa solids (at least 70%).
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors. You can add spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger to your hot chocolate mix. You can also add extracts like vanilla or almond. And don't forget about the toppings! Whipped cream, marshmallows, and chocolate shavings are all classic hot chocolate toppings.
  • Make sure your hot chocolate is hot enough. The ideal temperature for hot chocolate is between 160 and 180 degrees Fahrenheit. If your hot chocolate is too cold, it will be thin and watery. If it's too hot, it will be烫 and may burn your mouth.

Conclusion:

Making your own instant hot chocolate mix is easy and fun. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and comforting drink that you can enjoy all winter long. So next time you're craving a hot chocolate, skip the store-bought mix and make your own. You won't be disappointed.
