Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups fat free milk
1 14 ounce can unsweetened coconut milk
1/2 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk (2/3 cup)
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon vamilla
sweetened whipping cream optional

  • Don't overheat the milk: When you heat the milk, be careful not to let it overheat. Overheated milk can curdle and ruin the hot chocolate.
  • Sweeten to taste: The amount of sugar you add to your hot chocolate is a matter of personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Add flavorings and toppings: There are many different ways to flavor and top hot chocolate. Some popular options include peppermint extract, cinnamon, whipped cream, and marshmallows.
  • Enjoy immediately: Hot chocolate is best enjoyed immediately after it is made. If you let it sit for too long, it will start to lose its flavor.
