Spanish-Style Hot Chocolate

Prep time: 3 MinCook time: 5 MinTotal time: 8 Min

This incredibly thick, rich, and flavorful Spanish-style hot chocolate is nothing like the powder you mix with water; it doesn't even come close. Perfect for warming a chilly winter day and the best accompaniment for your churros.

Ingredients

• 2 cups milk (I use 2% milk)
• 2 teaspoon cornstarch
• 6 oz milk or dark chocolate, chopped
• 2 tablespoon sugar, optional (if using dark chocolate)
• 1/4 teaspoon of instant coffee, optional

Instructions

1. Pour milk into a medium saucepan and add cornstarch. Whisk until the cornstarch has completely dissolved. If using dark chocolate and adding sugar, go ahead and add the sugar now.
2. Bring milk to a slight boil over medium heat. Turn off the heat and whisk in the chopped chocolate and instant coffee, if using. Continue whisking until the chocolate is completely melted.
3. Pour or ladle the hot chocolate into cups and serve immediately!

Notes:

-If you are using dark chocolate, I recommend adding some sugar; otherwise, it will be a bit bitter. The amount of sugar you add will depend on how sweet you would want your hot chocolate.

-If you are using milk chocolate, I don't recommend adding any sugar because the milk chocolate will be sweet enough, but again, this depends on how sweet you want your hot chocolate to be.

-Personally, I enjoy adding a pinch of instant coffee to my hot chocolate or anything that has chocolate really because, in my opinion, it makes them more chocolaty and delicious.

-You can add more cornstarch if you wish your hot chocolate to have a much more thicker consistency.
