Hot Chocolate With Frothed Milk

Prep Time 3 minutes
This hot chocolate with frothed milk takes just 3 minutes to make — especially easy with an electric milk frother. Use dairy and sugar for a classic version — or go vegan or paleo with the right milk and maple syrup.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) whole milk cold, or cashew milk for vegan/paleo, see notes
  • 1 tablespoon (9 grams) cocoa powder I used Dutch-process
  • 3-4 teaspoons granulated sugar I used 4, or maple syrup for paleo
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • pinch salt

Instructions

  • Add all of the ingredients to an electric milk frother. Froth for 45 second or until it turns off if you have a frother that turns off automatically when it's done frothing. If you have different settings, choose one that heats and froths.
  • Serve immediately. If you have leftovers, cover and refrigerate for up to two days. The froth will have dissipated, but it'll still be yummy.

Notes

  • For vegan, use cashew milk or another plant-based milk.
  • For paleo, use nut-based milk that just contains water, nuts and salt and maple syrup.
