How to Make Hot Chocolate Concentrate From America's Test Kitchen

  1. In a large, microwave-safe bowl, whisk together 2 cups granulated sugar, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  2. Gradually whisk in 4 cups whole milk until completely smooth.
  3. Microwave on high for 2 minutes, stirring halfway through. Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring until the mixture is completely smooth and melted. Watch carefully to prevent scorching.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the chocolate to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
  5. Once firm, scoop the chocolate mixture into 1-inch balls using a cookie scoop or spoon.
  6. Wrap each ball individually in plastic wrap, then place them in a zip-top freezer bag. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
  7. To serve: Place 3 scoops of chocolate concentrate into a mug. Add 1 cup of your favorite milk (dairy or non-dairy).
  8. Microwave for approximately 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until heated through and melted.
  9. Garnish with whipped cream, marshmallows, or your favorite toppings and enjoy!
