Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 4 cups of milk (dairy or your preferred plant-based alternative)
- 200g dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa), roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- Optional toppings: whipped cream, marshmallows, chocolate shavings, a sprinkle of cinnamon or chili powder for an extra kick
Equipment:
- Medium-sized pot or saucepan
- Spoon or whisk
- Campfire with a grate (or a portable camping stove)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Campfire: Ensure your campfire is stable and has a grate for safe cooking. If using a camping stove, set it up according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Heat the Milk: Pour the milk into the pot and warm it over the campfire or stove on medium heat. Be careful not to boil the milk; you want it hot enough to melt the chocolate, about 3-5 minutes.
- Melt the Chocolate: Add the chopped dark chocolate to the pot, stirring constantly with a spoon or whisk until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Add Flavors: Stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to ensure everything is combined thoroughly.
- Serve Hot: Carefully pour the hot chocolate into mugs. If desired, top with whipped cream, marshmallows, chocolate shavings, or a sprinkle of cinnamon or chili powder for an extra kick.
- Enjoy: Sip slowly and enjoy the rich, comforting flavors of your Campfire Hot Chocolate Deluxe under the stars or by the warming glow of your campfire.
Tips for Success:
- For an extra creamy hot chocolate, use full-fat milk or a rich plant-based alternative like coconut milk.
- Adjust the sweetness by choosing your preferred type of chocolate. For a sweeter drink, opt for a lower cocoa percentage chocolate.
- To ensure safety, always keep a close eye on the fire and use proper camping cookware designed for high heat.
