Hot chocolate recipe that is rich, tasty and a treat for all chocolate lovers. Just 3 main ingredients for a perfect cup of hot chocolate. Coco powder, sugar and milk. Few drops of vanilla for flavour.
I always make microwave single serving hot chocolate for me, as it is easy to prepare and quick too. Never tried stove top hot chocolate. I got request from a reader friend for stove top recipe. I have tried this way for quite a few times since then and turns out perfect, rich and lip smacking.
You cannot mix everything and make a perfect cup of hot chocolate, few careful steps will make sure you get proper tasting hot cocoa. I always loved my version of hot chocolate though I have tasted in Coffee bean and Marriot Pune. It could be because of my sweet tooth. Yes, I need extra sweet hot chocolate. The recipe I followed from the container of the coco powder was perfect for me.
Happy Valentines Day everyone, spread love 💟😍
