MEASUREMENT
1 cup = 250ml, 1 tablespoon = 15ml, 1 teaspoon = 5ml
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon Cocoa Powder heaped
- 2-3 teaspoon Sugar
- 1.5 cups Milk
- Water ¼ cup
- A pinch of Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Vanilla Essence
- Whipped Cream/Vanilla Ice Cream as needed optional
- Chocolate Chips as needed optional
Instructions
- In a sauce pan, add cocoa powder, sugar, salt and mix well. Add ¼ cup of water and mix well until completely dissolved. Add ½ cup of milk and mix well again. Now put this sauce pan on low heat and stir continuously.
- After 3-4 mins, it becomes very thick. Add vanilla essence and continue to stir well making sure the bottom doesn’t burn. As the mixture becomes quite thick, add 1 cup of milk and whisk well. Remove from heat.
- Pour this into two serving glasses, top them off with whipped cream/vanilla ice cream. Sprinkle choco chips on top.
- Serve hot immediately.
Notes
- Adjust the quantity of sugar as per preference. I wanted the mild bitterness of chocolate come up, so added only 3 teaspoon of sugar.
- Adding a pinch of salt helps bring out the sweetness.
- Keep cooking the mixture on low flame by continuously stirring. Make sure it doesn’t burn.
- Use good quality cocoa powder.
- Additionally, ½ teaspoon instant coffee powder or 2 teaspoon of strawberry/cranberry syrup can be added.
