My craving for hot chocolate has been build up due to the chilly weather these past days. Rather than complaining about missing our central heating and the Christmas markets, I decided to make myself a cup of good ol’ cocoa. So today is the day, it’s a hot chocolate kind of day!
Instead of real chocolate, I’m using cocoa powder here. I know, I can hear you say why, but chocolate is expensive here. Even the cocoa powder is brought to me by my mum and sister who came to visit. But, I can assure you, you won't taste the powder!
Hot chocolate with cinnamon
1 cup milk
1 ½ tsp pure cocoa powder
1 pinch of cinnamon
1 tsp brown sugar
¼ cup heavy cream
½ tsp icing sugar
Bring the milk, cocoa powder, brown sugar and cinnamon to a boil.
Keep stirring it so there aren’t any chocolate lumps.
In a bowl, whisk the cream together with the icing sugar until it becomes thick.
Serve the hot chocolate with the whipped cream on top.
Top with a pinch of cinnamon or cocoa powder.
