Ingredients
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup sugar
- Chocolate spoons for serving
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the 2 cups of coconut milk and 1 cup of regular milk. Place the saucepan over medium heat and warm the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it is hot but not boiling.
- While the milk is heating, in a separate bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup of cocoa powder and 1/2 cup of sugar. This will help to prevent clumping when you add it to the milk mixture.
- Once the milk mixture is hot, gradually add the cocoa powder and sugar mixture to the saucepan. Whisk continuously to ensure that the cocoa and sugar dissolve completely into the milk.
- Continue to heat the mixture for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently. Be careful not to let it boil, as this can affect the texture of the hot chocolate.
- Once the hot chocolate is well combined and heated to your desired temperature, remove the saucepan from the heat. You can taste the hot chocolate at this point and adjust the sweetness or chocolate intensity by adding more sugar or cocoa powder if desired.
- While the hot chocolate is cooling slightly, prepare the chocolate-covered spoons. Melt your choice of chocolate (dark, milk, or white) in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
- Dip the spoons into the melted chocolate, making sure to coat the spoon heads thoroughly. Place the chocolate-covered spoons on a parchment-lined baking sheet and allow them to cool and harden at room temperature, or place them in the refrigerator for quicker setting.
- Once the chocolate spoons are set, serve the hot chocolate in mugs. Garnish each mug with a chocolate-covered spoon, allowing guests to stir their hot chocolate for an extra chocolatey flavor.
- Enjoy your delicious Coconut Hot Chocolate with Chocolate Covered Spoons!
Tips
- Choose Your Chocolate Wisely: For the chocolate-covered spoons, you can use dark, milk, or white chocolate depending on your preference. Each type will add a unique flavor to your hot chocolate experience.
- Prevent Clumping: To avoid clumps in your hot chocolate, whisk the cocoa powder and sugar together thoroughly before adding them to the warm milk mixture. This ensures a smooth and silky texture.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste your hot chocolate before serving and feel free to adjust the sweetness. If you prefer a richer chocolate flavor, add a bit more cocoa powder or sugar to suit your taste.
- Temperature Control: Be mindful not to let the milk mixture boil, as boiling can change the texture of your hot chocolate. Keep the heat on medium and stir frequently for the best results.
- Creative Garnishes: Enhance your presentation by adding whipped cream, toasted coconut flakes, or a sprinkle of cinnamon on top of your hot chocolate before serving.
- Fun Serving Ideas: For a festive touch, consider serving your hot chocolate in colorful mugs or adding a drizzle of caramel or chocolate syrup on top for extra indulgence.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the hot chocolate mixture in advance and simply reheat it when you’re ready to serve. Just be sure to stir well to recombine before serving.Enjoy crafting this delightful beverage and making memories with every sip!
