Indulge in a rich, chocolatey, and delicious hot chocolate without heavy cream.

Decadent Hot Chocolate

One of the great pleasures around this time of year is sipping on a cup of rich homemade hot chocolate. As I don’t drink coffee, I order a lot of hot chocolates when going to cafés. Mostly it ends with a huge disappointment when they serve it with an instant hot chocolate powder.

Decadent Hot Chocolate

Recently, I stumbled upon a little secret which helps you reach a thicker consistency. Use just a tiny bit of chocolate pudding powder to make your hot chocolate luxuriously thick and creamy.

Sometimes, a pinch of cinnamon is all it takes to turn your mug into the taste of Christmas. I also like to add a cinnamon stick to give it a rustic wintery look.

In case you prefer your hot chocolate not extremely thick, I recommend using more milk and leaving the chocolate pudding powder out.

Improve your hot chocolate by making it ahead and let it rest for a few hours. Rewarm it before serving.

Add a few pinches of fleur de sel to give it an extra punch.

Top with cacao or cinnamon powder for a great look.

Incase you don’t have chocolate pudding powder, you can substitute with corn starch.
