Castillian Hot Chocolate

This is a classic Spanish Hot Cocoa recipe. The consistency of the finished product should resemble chocolate pudding that hasn't quite set. Yes, this is a thick drink!

Ingredients:

1/4 cup Dagoba Organic Chocolate unsweetened hot chocolate cacao powder

1 cup raw cane sugar

1/8 cup cornstarch

1/2 water

4 cups milk or milk substitute of choice



Preparation:



Mix cacao powder and sugar together.

Dissolve the cornstarch in the water and combine with the cacao-sugar mixture in a medium sized saucepan. Stir this until it is a smooth paste.

Begin heating this mixture, continuously stirring it with a whisk.

Gradually pour in the milk. Continue stirring as you bring to a simmer.

Allow simmering, stirring often, for about 10 minutes. The drink is ready when it thickens and is glossy and smooth.

A dollop of freshly whipped cream tops this drink off perfectly.

Makes 4 servings



Note: for festive occasions, add an ounce of brandy or rum.
