How to Make Best Ever Hot Chocolate
- In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups whole milk, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup nonfat dry milk powder, 6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips (or 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate for a more intense chocolate flavor), 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons cornstarch.
- Whisk the mixture until the dry ingredients are well combined.
- Cook over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
- Reduce heat to low and continue to whisk occasionally until the hot chocolate has thickened slightly, about 1-2 minutes. The consistency should be smooth and creamy.
- Remove from heat and pour into mugs. Top each serving with whipped cream and a chocolate cookie (optional).
