Hot Chocolate | Simple Hot Cocoa for Two

For this, you won’t be needing any chocolate bar or cream and the entire recipe is made over the stovetop. I hope you’ll give it a try. This recipe is really simple to make, and I’m sure all the ingredients are already available in your pantry.

There are so many ways of making hot chocolate at home. Some people like to add cocoa powder and some like to add actual chocolate. I personally like both. But this time I made hot chocolate with cocoa powder. And it is mildly spiced with a hint of cinnamon. To get that silky smooth texture, I have added a little cornflour. This makes the hot chocolate super creamy without adding actual cream. So if you are looking for a healthy and low fat/calorie version of hot chocolate, then give this recipe a try.
