Creamy Kahlúa Hot Chocolate

Serves: 2 servings
Total time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

1½ tablespoons Dutch-processed unsweetened cocoa powder

2 cups milk
2 tablespoons sugar
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of nutmeg
1 ounce Kahlúa coffee liqueur
Whipped cream and mini marshmallows
Chocolate syrup

Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine milk, sugar, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg over medium heat until heated through, about 2-3 minutes.

Notes

Once you realize how easy it is to make creamy hot chocolate, you won’t be using store bought powder mixes.

Recipe is adapted from Damn Delicious. I added whipped cream. You can also drizzle with salted caramel, if desired.

The Enloe bookcase I ordered last November finally came, and I've loaded it with some of my favorite books, photos, and other items--all with special meaning and memories. Holders for my collection of Victoria magazines, which are too beautiful to toss, are on order. No more books for me. This bookcase is full. #books #bookcase #bookworm
