Kary Osmond: Homemade hot chocolate is easier than you think

By Kary Osmond, karyosmond.com on

Hot chocolate is the perfect sweet treat for a cool day. Growing up as a figure skater, spending many days in a cold skating arena, my mom always made sure there were packages of hot chocolate in the cupboard.

Once you learn how easy it is to make hot chocolate from scratch, you’ll never buy premix hot chocolate again. This recipe uses oat milk as the base, but you can use any plant-based milk: almond, soy or rice. Once the milk is heated, it’s flavored with cocoa powder and sweetened with brown sugar and a piece of dark chocolate.

Simple Hot Chocolate

Serves 1

1 cup unsweetened oat milk

1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

1 square dairy free chocolate

1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon brown sugar

 

1. Heat oat milk in a small saucepan over low heat until hot, about 6 to 8 minutes.

2. Whisk in cocoa powder and chocolate square until chocolate and cocoa powder has blended in.

3. Sweeten to taste with brown sugar and serve immediately.
