Double Chocolate Cocoa with Candy Cane Whipped Cream
Author: Rebecca Cofiño for Mamaguru
Recipe type: Drinks
This is the BEST cocoa recipe ever. Hands down!
Ingredients
2 c milk (Whole tastes best, skim keeps you slim: you decide.)
3 T sugar
2 squares of 72 % dark chocolate
1 T unsweetened cocoa powder
1 dash of cayenne
1 t vanilla extract
(If not serving with Candy Cane Whipped Cream, add ¼ t either fresh nutmeg or cinnamon)
Instructions
Heat milk over a medium flame. While it heats, chop chocolate as finely as you can. Add chocolate to warm milk and whisk until combined.
Add sugar, cocoa powder, cayenne. Stir and taste. The pepper really brings out the chocolate flavor and adds a depth of flavor. If you are making this with skim milk, you may need a touch more sugar. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
