Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • 2 Tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1-2 Tablespoons sweetener I like honey, but any sweetener will work!
  • 1 large egg
  • good dash sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • stevia, to taste optional

Instructions

  • Begin by warming the milk in a saucepan; warm it to 130℉ or until warm to the touch.
  • In a separate saucepan, whisk the egg with the sweetener of choice, cocoa powder, and salt until a smooth slurry forms.
  • Slowly drizzle in the warmed milk to the egg/cocoa slurry; go slow to avoid scrambling the egg.
  • Place pot over medium high heat and stir continuously for about 5-6 minutes or until the mixture has thickened.
  • Remove the pot from the heat, and stir in the vanilla as well as extra sweetener or stevia to taste.
  • Top with whipped cream, marshmallows, cinnamon, etc, and enjoy while warm.
