This quick homemade hot chocolate with cacao powder is made with just milk, honey, cacao powder and a touch of vanilla. Let me assure you that it’s nearly as easy to make as a powdered mix, but it’s even more delicious and much more nutritious. It’s sweetened with just honey and is a a wonderful wintertime “treat,” that’s really not a treat at all. 😉

I had to use 1⅓ cups evaporated milk and ⅔ cup almond milk, that's all I had. Added a bit of ground espresso powder and ground cinnamon stick with powdered sugar. With the vanilla extract, honey, and the pinch of sea salt I shook it in an airtight container and then put it into the pan and warmed it, stirring all the while. I did have to add more almond milk when I served it, but it will keep in the fridge too. Thank you for this video, it's excellently done.

I`ve just learned that Cacao can have massive health benefits for us all. I`ve just bought some and found your recipe for making a drink. If i use a natural homegrown honey to sweeten would the natural built in properties of organic honey be destroyed in the warming process or would they remain unaffected? Thank you.

@FromScratchFast 3 ай бұрын

Hi there! If you want to preserve the properties of the honey, add it after the cacao is made, once it's cooled slightly. You can also swap out the honey for maple syrup. I hope you enjoy!!
