Before you jump to Hot Chocolate recipe, you may want to read this short interesting healthy tips about Healthy Eating Doesn’t Need To Be A Chore.

The benefits of healthy eating are now being given more publicity than ever before and there are a number of reasons for doing this. There are a lot of health conditions related to a poor diet and there is a cost to the overall economy as people suffer from diseases such as heart disease and hypertension. Everywhere you look, people are encouraging you to live a healthier way of life but but then, you are also being encouraged to rely on convenience foods that can affect your health in a terrible way. It is likely that lots of people assume it will take lots of effort to eat a healthy diet or that they have to make a large scale change to how they live. It is possible, however, to make some minor changes that can start to make a positive impact to our daily eating habits.

Initially, you must be extremely careful when you are shopping for food that you don’t automatically put things in your cart that you don’t wish to eat. For instance, if you have a bowl of cereal for breakfast, do you ever look to see what the sugar and salt content is before buying? A great healthy substitute can be porridge oats which have been shown to be great for your heart and can give you good sustainable energy at the start of the day. Add fruits or spices to improve how the oatmeal tastes and now you have a breakfast that can be a usual part of your new healthy diet.

Evidently, it’s not hard to start integrating healthy eating into your life.

We hope you got insight from reading it, now let’s go back to hot chocolate recipe. You can cook hot chocolate using 10 ingredients and 8 steps. Here is how you achieve that.

The ingredients needed to make Hot Chocolate:

1. Provide 1 cup full cream milk
2. Provide 1 cup cream
3. Get 4 tsp milk powder
4. Prepare 6 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
5. Provide 1/4 bar dark chocolate
6. Prepare 1/4 tsp vanilla essence
7. Get 4 tsp Nutella(optional)
8. Provide 1 inch cinnamon stick(optional)
9. Use 1 pinch salt
10. Use as needed Sugar(if you’re not adding Nutella)

Steps to make Hot Chocolate:

1. In a saucepan, combine milk, milk powder and cream and warm it up on low heat. Put in the cinnamon stick for it to release some flavour.
2. Add bits of dark chocolate(the more the cocoa content, the darker it’ll get) and cocoa powder in a bowl, and add in one tablespoon of the hot milk in the saucepan to it. Mix with a whisk and ensure that there are no lumps.
3. Now slowly pour the contents of the bowl into the saucepan and keep stirring.
4. Add the vanilla and you’ll gradually see that the mixture will start to thicken. That’s because of the milk powder and cocoa powder. However, if it is not thick enough as per your choice, then in a separate bowl, mix 1/2 tsp cornstarch and 2 tsp water and then add this to the saucepan. This will thicken it immediately.
5. After simmering for around 10 minutes, you can remove the cinnamon stick.
6. Add Nutella to the saucepan now. This is what I used as the sweetener. However, if unavailable, simply replace it with 3-4 tsp of regular white sugar.
7. Add a tiny pinch of salt to the mixture and you’re rich, creamy and delicious hot chocolate is ready to serve. Top it up with some marshmallows or with s’mores, or enjoy it as it is.
8. Pro-Tip: I chose to get a hint of cinnamon in the hot chocolate but you can easily replace it with star anise and it’ll taste equally good. If you have an adventurous palate, then I’the recommend adding a bit of ginger and/or red chilli powder(a very tiny pinch). You can spike it up, too, with either Baileys or rum.
