Instructions
-
In a small bowl, combine cornstarch with milk.
-
Stir well until dissolved and no lumps remain. Set this mixture aside.
-
In a saucepan, add full-fat milk, sugar, and vanilla.
-
Place the saucepan over low to medium heat. Stir occasionally.
-
Before the milk boils, when it feels warm to the touch, add unsweetened cocoa powder and salt (to enhance the flavor).
-
Whisk continuously until the cocoa is fully dissolved and there are no lumps.
-
Pour in the prepared cornstarch and milk mixture while continuously whisking.
-
Continue to whisk gently until the hot chocolate just comes to a boil. As soon as it starts bubbling, turn off the heat immediately.
-
Pour the hot chocolate into your favorite mugs. You can add whipped cream or marshmallows on top, and optionally use a kitchen torch to toast the marshmallows.
-
For an extra touch, grate some chocolate over the top.
