Homemade Hot Chocolate with Cocoa

Do you like chocolate but you don’t have it on hand? What if I tell you that you can make a perfect Homemade Hot Chocolate using cocoa powder instead? Yes, you heard well. When I was a child I didn’t like milk. As you can imagine my mother wasn’t very happy with that :).

She knows that I like sweets and chocolate was one of my favorite desserts, but it was expensive and not very healthy to eat chocolate every day. Then she came to the idea to add cocoa powder into the milk and see if I would drink it that way.




 

I loved it! It was so delicious and so chocolaty. I started drinking milk finally :). She usually served it during breakfast. Now I want to share with you this delicious Homemade Hot Chocolate recipe and show you that hot chocolate can be as good as the one made with the real chocolate. You can add cream on top or topping but I like it more this way. Now let’s go and dive into the recipe!
