Ingredients

(Makes 1 serving)

160 g (⅔ cup) Milk

1 tbsp Unsweetened cocoa powder

½ tbsp Cornstarch

1 tbsp Sugar

50 g (1½ oz) Dark Chocolate CUT INTO SMALL PIECES

 

Instructions

Into a heat proof measuring jug or a TALL microwave safe cup/container add: the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch and half of the milk.

Mix to break up the cocoa lumps as best you can. Add the remaining milk.

For a thin hot chocolate microwave this mixture anywhere between 1 minute - 1 minute and 30 seconds or until HOT.

For a creamy hot chocolate microwave for 1 full minute. Give it a mix and microwave again for an additional 2 minutes. This will come to a rolling boil.

Finally, add the chocolate, cut into SMALL pieces, and mix until fully melted and serve!
