Where to find ingredients
Skimmed milk and cornstarch are pantry staples easily found in any local grocery store or supermarket in the Bahamas. Sweetened condensed milk is widely available in the baking aisle of all major food stores. For cocoa powder, look for standard baking cocoa; if you want a more premium flavor, check the baking or specialty import aisles for higher-quality Dutch-processed cocoa. Ground cinnamon is a common spice found in the seasonings section of every local market.
Preparation method
- Place all the ingredients, except for the cinnamon, into your blender

- If you want an extra treat, feel free to dollop some whipped cream over the hot chocolate
