Questions about Hot chocolate
How do you make hot chocolate with cocoa powder without getting lumps?
Mix the cocoa powder with sugar and a splash of cold milk to make a smooth paste. Whisk in the rest of the milk, then heat gently, stirring, until steaming; avoid boiling it.
How do you stop a skin forming on hot chocolate?
Stir it as it heats and serve it straight away. If you need to hold it, cover the surface or keep a lid on the pan, then whisk before pouring.
Can you keep leftover hot chocolate in the fridge?
Yes. Cool it promptly, cover it and refrigerate; use it within two days, then reheat gently until steaming, stirring well. Avoid reheating the same portion more than once.
What goes well with hot chocolate?
For a classic pairing, serve it with churros for dipping. Shortbread, plain biscuits or a slice of lightly spiced cake also work well without overpowering the chocolate.
Can you make hot chocolate without dairy milk?
Yes: oat, soya, almond or coconut drink can all be heated in the same way as milk. Whisk continuously, as some plant drinks separate if brought to a boil.
Is drinking chocolate the same as hot chocolate powder?
The names overlap, but drinking chocolate is often made with finely ground chocolate, while hot chocolate powder may be cocoa mixed with sugar and other ingredients. Both can be mixed into hot milk or a milk alternative; follow the pack’s proportions.
