Homemade Cinnamon Caramel Hot Chocolate
This hot chocolate is the perfect taste of fall.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 - 1 tsp instant coffee
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 3/4 cup caramel sauce
- 2 cups half and half
- 2 cups milk
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together everything except the 4 cups of dairy until the cocoa powder has fully incorporated into the caramel, giving you a thick, sticky paste.
- Gradually whisk in the dairy until the mixture is smooth. Drag a spatula across the bottom and corners of the pan to make sure the caramel mix has fully incorporated.
- Set the heat to medium and heat the hot chocolate for 6-8 minutes or until steaming, whisking once every minute or so.
- Serve hot with whipped cream and a dash of cinnamon.
Notes
To store, simply chill the hot chocolate in a sealed Tupperware container for up to 3 days. To reheat, whisk the mixture until smooth and fully incorporated (some of the chocolate will have settled to the bottom) and pour it into a saucepan. Heat on medium heat until steaming, whisking regularly.
