Ingredients
1 litre skimmed milk
1 tin condensed milk
4 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 tablespoons cornflour
Ground cinnamon for dusting
1 tin condensed milk
4 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 tablespoons cornflour
Ground cinnamon for dusting
Where to find ingredients
Skimmed milk and condensed milk (found in the baking or long-life milk aisles of major supermarkets like RB Patel or New World). Cocoa powder is available in the baking aisle; look for high-quality unsweetened options. Cornflour is a standard pantry staple available in any grocery shop. Ground cinnamon can be found in the spice section. If looking for authentic Brazilian ingredients, specialty imported-goods sections in larger city supermarkets or niche ethnic grocers may carry specific South American brands, but the generic items listed work perfectly for this recipe.
Preparation method
- Combine all ingredients, except the cinnamon, in a blender
- Blitz well until the mixture is perfectly smooth and combined
- Pour the liquid into a saucepan
- Heat over medium heat
- Stir constantly until the mixture bubbles and reaches your preferred thickness
- Divide the drink into mugs
- Finish by dusting with a little ground cinnamon on top
- For an extra treat, add a dollop of whipped cream over the chocolate
Observations
Looking for the ultimate comfort drink on a chilly day? This recipe delivers a rich, velvety consistency that sets it apart from standard cocoa. The secret is the addition of cornflour, which creates that classic, decadent mouthfeel everyone loves.
