Homemade Hot Chocolate

There is nothing like a cup of homemade gluten-free hot chocolate to help warm you on a cold winter day. It takes just a few minutes to whip up this decadent gluten-free drink.

One of my favorite things to do on a chilly afternoon is snuggle on the couch under a warm quilt with a good book or my stitching and a cup of hot chocolate. I love dark chocolate and this is one of my favorite treats!

Homemade whipped cream adds extra creaminess to this delicious treat. If my husband is having a tough day, I  head to the kitchen to make a mug for each of us. Then we sit and talk about what is going on. While this delicious drink may not solve the problem, it definitely helps to make you feel better.

Is it hot chocolate or hot cocoa?

While either name is acceptable in the United States, there is a difference. Did you know hot cocoa is made from cocoa powder? If you buy packets of it in the grocery store, it may contain other ingredients such as corn syrup and artificial ingredients. Made with milk, hot chocolate is made with shaved bits of chocolate making it richer and less sweet than its cousin.

This gluten-free hot chocolate recipe is my absolute favorite drink. Are you a dark chocolate fan like I am? You are going to love the velvety rich flavor the chocolate lends to this drink. Talk about chocolate heaven! Made with FIVE simple ingredients (my favorite chocolate to use is Hershey’s Special Dark Cocoa Powder), you might be sad when you realize you drank the last drop!
