Thick and Rich Hot Cocoa

By [e-mail]

Rich, creamy, and thick enough that you may want to scoop it with a spoon, this European-style drinking chocolate is something different from the usual hot cocoa. Serve it in a demitasse or espresso cup for an elegant treat.

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cup(s) nonfat milk
• 1/2 cup(s) unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup(s) sugar
• 1 1/2 tablespoon(s) cornstarch

Preparation

Step 1

Combine milk, cocoa, sugar, and cornstarch in a large saucepan. Cook over medium heat, whisking often, until steaming. Continue to cook, whisking constantly, until it comes to a boil, then remove from the heat.
