Ingredients
-
1/2 cup
unsweetened cocoa powder
-
1/2 cup
granulated sugar
-
2 tbsp
instant coffee
, (decaffeinated is fine)
-
2 tsp
vanilla
-
1/2 cup
water
-
3 cups
milk
-
1 cup
evaporated milk
, (or 10% cream)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, stir together the cocoa powder, sugar, instant coffee and vanilla. Add the water, and stir until it’s smooth and lump-free. Now pour in the milk and the evaporated milk, whisk until smooth, and heat over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it’s hot – but don’t let it boil.
- Now for the frothy part. Working with about half of the hot chocolate at a time, pour into a blender and blend until it’s foamy. Repeat with the rest of the mixture. Be careful not to overfill the blender – this stuff seems to expand when you whip it.
