Ingredients
  

  • 1 Tablespoon | 7g unsweetened Cocoa powder
  • 1 Tablespoon | 12g granulated Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Water
  • Pinch of Salt
  • 3/4 Cup Milk, Full fat Best 
  • 1/4 Cup Heavy Cream
  • 1/4 Cup semisweet chocolate chopped or good quality chips
  • Marshmallows or Whipped cream  optional for topping

Method
 

  1. Mix together Cocoa, Sugar and Water in a pan till smooth. Then add the Milk and heavy Cream.
  2. Chop dark chocolate or use good quality chocolate chips. I used 50% Cocoa as my kids dont really like it if its too bitter. If you use higher % of Cocoa you may need to add more sugar.
  3. Heat the Milk & Cocoa till hot. Do not Boil. Add the chocolate and Stir till it melts. Add pinch of salt to balance the sweetness and enhance the chocolate flavor.
  4. Serve it Hot with marshmallows or whipped cream topping.
