Healthy Hot Chocolate

Ingredients

• 1.5 cup milk (Use 1 cup for heating and 0.5 cup cold milk to mix with the cornstarch and cocoa; the source specifies “large” glasses)
• salt (a pinch)
• 1 tbsp honey or Jerusalem artichoke syrup (choose one option)
• 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa
• 1.5 tbsp cornstarch
• 50 g chocolate (the source states that the recipe for this chocolate is available in the profile)

Steps

1. 1

   Pour 1 cup of milk into a saucepan. Add the honey or Jerusalem artichoke syrup and a pinch of salt. Place the saucepan over medium heat.

2. 2

   In a separate bowl, combine the cornstarch and unsweetened cocoa.

3. 3

   Add 0.5 cup of cold milk to the cornstarch and cocoa mixture, and stir until smooth.

4. 4

   Pour the milk, cornstarch, and cocoa mixture into the saucepan over the heat. Stirring constantly, bring the mixture to a boil.

5. 5

   Add the chocolate and wait until it has completely melted, continuing to stir as needed.

6. 6

   Serve the hot chocolate in 4 small glasses. If desired, refrigerate it—the chilled mixture will resemble chocolate mousse.

Notes

The source does not specify the exact heating temperature, boiling time, or chilling time in the refrigerator. The glass size is not specified; the amount of milk has been preserved as 1.5 large glasses.
