Ingredients
2 tablespoons
cornstarch or arrowroot
4 cups
chocolate almond milk
4 ounces
semisweet chocolate, chopped
Pinch of
cinnamon or nutmeg, marshmallows, or chocolate shavings (optional)
Directions
  1. Whisk together cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of the milk to form a thickener. Combine thickener and remaining milk in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk together constantly as mixture heats and bring to just before a boil, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  2. Pour hot milk over chopped chocolate in a large ceramic or glass bowl. Let stand 1 minute, then stir until smooth. Serve with optional toppings, if desired.

Handy hint: Choose chocolate bars over chocolate chips for a smoother hot chocolate. Chocolate chips tend to have added stabilizing agents to help maintain chip form.
