Equipment
- mason jars
Ingredients
- ½ cup of mini semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon of kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- In a medium sized bowl, place all the dry ingredients. Do not add the heavy whipping cream.
- Whisk to thoroughly combine the ingredients.
- Store the hot chocolate mix in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
- To serve, heat 1 cup of your choice of milk (I favor whole milk) until just before it simmers. Add 3 tablespoons of the hot chocolate mix to the hot milk. Stir and continue simmering for about 1 to 2 minutes. The mix should dissolve but, there still may be a few unmelted mini chocolate chips.
- Pour the hot chocolate into a mug and top with homemade whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
- To make the whipped cream, place the heavy whipping cream in a cold medium sized bowl. Beat with a handheld mixer (or a standing mixer if you have one) for 4 to 6 minutes. The whipped cream should form soft peaks when the beaters are lifted out of the whipped cream.
