Ingredients
- 2.1oz / 60g good quality dark chocolate (I've used 72% cacao)
- 1 ½ cups (plus 2 tablespoons) milk of choice (I prefer dairy free and use almond milk or soy milk )
- 1 ½ tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 teaspoons cornstarch
- Small pinch of salt
- *Optional additional sugar if you prefer it sweeter
Instructions
- Add 2 tablespoons of milk to a small bowl with the cornstarch. Whisk together until smooth and there are no clumps. Put aside for now
- Pour the remaining milk into a small saucepan, break the dark chocolate into smaller pieces and add to the saucepan. Heat over the stovetop on the lowest heat for a few minutes, stirring with a whisk to melt the chocolate
- When the milk has heated through and the chocolate has fully melted, add the cocoa powder and a small pinch of salt. Continue to gently whiskTaste and if you are adding any sugar, add it at this time
- Add the cornstarch mixture and continuously whisk until there are no clumps. When the consistency has thickened up, serve up in your favorite cups and enjoy your decadent Italian hot chocolate!
