Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries, plus extra for garnish
- 2 tablespoons sugar (optional, adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Heat the Milk: Pour the milk into a medium-sized saucepan and place it on medium heat. Warm the milk slowly, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
- Add Cocoa and Chocolate: Once the milk is warmed, whisk in the cocoa powder until fully incorporated. Then add the chocolate chips, stirring continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Add Raspberries and Sweeten: Add the fresh raspberries and sugar to the saucepan. Use a spoon or whisk to mash some of the raspberries gently to release their flavor into the hot chocolate. Continue heating for 2-3 minutes but do not bring it to a boil.
- Strain (Optional): For a smooth drink, strain the hot chocolate through a fine sieve to remove raspberry seeds and pulp. Alternatively, leave as is for a rustic texture.
- Add Vanilla Extract: Stir in the vanilla extract for added depth of flavor.
- Serve: Pour the Raspberry Hot Chocolate into mugs, garnish with fresh raspberries, and enjoy warm.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen raspberries based on availability; if using frozen, thaw slightly before adding.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less sugar according to taste.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute whole milk with almond, oat, or coconut milk.
- To make it extra decadent, top with whipped cream and a few raspberry pieces.
- If you prefer a more intense raspberry flavor, add a few drops of raspberry extract.
