Easiest Creamy Hot Chocolate
Sunday, December 11th, 2005
I’m back! I slept for 10 hours last night and I am feeling rejuvenated! (Not to mention Evan comes back from his weekend with the boys in Atlantic City) My sister came to visit for the day with her ADD dog Lexi and she is just about to start her final exams and projects so I thought I would make her a treat when she came. I have had this recipe for about 2 years now and who knows why I have never made it. It’s a Paula Deen recipe so you know it must be good. It is so simple, cheap and I even made is fat free! Steph loved it and I have some leftover to enjoy this week. The recipe calls for vanilla but I substituted it for a bit of peppermint extract which was perfect! You must try this recipe for the holidays, it would be so good spiked with your favorite dessert liquor!
The cookie is one of the many I received from the fabulous Cookie Exchange I went to Friday night. I came back home with a cake box full of cookies! I had such a great time and it was just what I needed to get back into the holiday spirit! Thanks Tammy!
Paula’s Creamy Dreamy Hot Chocolate
1 can sweetened condensed milk (I used the fat free one)
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons of extract of your choice (vanilla, peppermint, or even orange would be yummy)
1/8 teaspoon salt
6 cups hot water
1. In a large sauce pan combine milk, cocoa, salt and extract with a whisk. Slowly pour in hot water and continue to whisk until combined. Heat with medium heat until warmed through but do not boil.
2. Serve with a liquor or mini marshmallows.
