Delicious!!
I made it on the stove instead of the microwave. I liked it, but next time I’m going to try with a teaspoon of vanilla instead of the cinnamon. Not bad!
No and I will make it several times.
I added coco powder to, and I wasn’t to crazy about the cinnamon but it still tasted good
I made the recipe for my sis after school and didn’t work at all it looked inedible
So yummy!! I added vanilla and excluded the egg and it was delicious! Used a double boiler to melt the chocolate (plus a little butter) and added the ingredients from there. So good!
Looks and tastes amazing
Good tastes l will make it again Thanks
I added all the ingredients at once into a pot on the stove. Medium-low heat and whisked until hot. Taste is unique, but we loved it.
tasty but after using a sieve twice, it was still lumpy
great comfort drink, definitely a good idea when all you have is swiss miss in the pantry!
It tasted great and didn’t take long to make. I used milk chocolate chips instead and didn’t grate it. I had chunks of egg in mine, but I think I didn’t wisk it enough.
I rate this 4 out of 5 because I could taste the Cinnamon more than the Chocolate.We added Whip Cream which made it taste better than regular
I made hot chocolate with 4 1/2 c milk a teaspoon of vanilla extract, tap sugar,(optional)tbs pero, and 1c semisweet chocolate chips
I made this with chocolate chips because it’s what I had. I put them in my Vitamix to break them down, added the sugar and cinnamon, and followed the rest of the recipe until the end. It wasn’t mixed well enough, even though I whisked it quite hard. So, I put everything back into the Vitamix and whirred it up until it was fully mixed and frothy. It was good, but I will not put the cinnamon in next time, as it overpowered the chocolate.
Needs more milk, I changed the semi-sweet for coca, added some more sugar, might make it again
A great base able to be adapted to what’s on hand! For the mugs at work, 1.5 cups milk, 2 TBSP Cocoa, 2 TBSP sugar. Cooked on stove because it was easier to watch to the boiling point. Slight problems with egg clotting, but it did make it richer.
I didn’t make it in the microwave but on the stove. With more chocolate than what the recipe called for…
It was good but I’m still searching for the perfect hot chocolate recipe. The cinnamon made it gritty and I got the egg umbilical cord thing in my mouth during the last swig. That was definitely a big turn off. Otherwise, I didn’t have any of the egg chunks that others complained about. You can prevent that by whisking the eggs smoothly and tempering it. The way you temper it is by adding a couple hot spoonfuls of the hot milk mixture into cold whisked eggs. Whisk it together before adding the slightly warmed egg mixture into the hot milk. Then whisk them together again.
It was yummy, I did it on the hob instead of the microwave, The egg kind of went funny but after reading other reviews i understand why. I didnt really like the cinnamon in it either it was quite strong. But it has a great texture and will be using the recipe again with some tweaks !
I made this on the stove top. The egg made this creamy (to avoid clumps I whisked the egg in a cup, added some of the hot milk while whisking, and then poured it into the pot), and the cinnamon was a nice touch, but there wasn’t nearly enough chocolate. I added another handful of chips, and some chocolate syrup, but it was still lacking the rich chocolatliness I look for in hot cocoa.
