Hot Chocolate (recipe)

[Guest guest]

hi everyone!

the weather has been chilly here in virginia, so i

made this hot chocolate tonight. it was delicious.

i used 3 tsp. of splenda instead of 2 T. of sugar.

next time, i'm gonna try it with soymilk.

also, the fall issue of eating well magazine has a

vegetarian thanksgiving menu with several recipes. i

think you can get a couple of the recipes online (the

link is below). i can't wait to make and try the

mashed garlicky potatoes with portobello gravy. if it

turns out as good as it sounds, i'll post the recipe.

 

Hot Chocolate

[from Eating Well Fall 2003]

This version of hot cocoa is rich and chocolaty

without the overly sweet taste of some prepackaged

mixes. We suggest a whisk or a blender to froth the

drink, but you can also use the gadget designed to

froth milk for cappuccino.

 

2 tablespoons sugar

4 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder

1 cup low-fat milk, divided

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of ground cinnamon

 

1. Mix sugar, cocoa and 2 tablespoons cold milk in a

mug until smooth. Heat the remaining milk in a small

saucepan on the stovetop or in a 2-cup glass measure

in the microwave (1 minute 45 seconds on high) until

steaming hot but not boiling. Stir in the cocoa

mixture and vanilla.

 

2. To froth the hot chocolate, whirl a whisk in it by

rubbing your hands back and forth. (Alternatively,

pour the hot chocolate into a blender, cover with the

lid and a kitchen towel and blend until frothy.) Pour

it back into the mug and sprinkle with cinnamon.
