This hot cocoa recipe is easily customized to your tastes. Learn to make a perfect cup of cocoa with cocoa powder (natural or Dutch-process).
There’s something to be said for store-bought hot cocoa mix. It’s fast. It’s convenient. But when you have a reliable homemade hot cocoa recipe you can customize to your tastes, there’s almost no going back. Hot cocoa gets its rich chocolate flavor from unsweetened cocoa powder . You can customize the consistency of your drink by whisking in whole milk, heavy cream, half-and-half, skim milk, or any combination. And yes, your favorite dairy alternative works too.
Add flavor another way by trading the plain white sugar for coconut sugar, maple syrup, or honey . Spice things up with a pinch of cayenne or cinnamon for Mexican hot chocolate vibes, or mix in almond or peppermint extract instead of vanilla. For a buzzier winter warmer, stir in a splash of rum, bourbon, or coffee liqueur. No matter what, garnish with a dollop of homemade whipped cream or a big squishy marshmallow. This recipe multiplies easily.
