Feb 11, 2016 Most hot chocolate recipes are either cocoa and sugar, or chopped chocolate with milk and cream. This hot chocolate has cocoa, which imparts that dark, chocolatey depth of flavour, and chopped chocolate, for that wonderful richness. And I have a secret ingredient in here that boosts the silky, creamy mouthfeel without the weightiness of cream: corn starch. Before you get weirded out, read the label on most commercial hot cocoa mixes. There’s always some form of modified starch in there. And chocolate pudding? Corn starch. So we’re cool on that point, right? I made this last weekend when we had my sister’s dog over. He’s the sweetest, snuggliest pup, and he was sure there was a mug for him, too. <3 *or at least a fireplace app.
