Campfire Hot Chocolate Deluxe

 


Serves: 4
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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Add Flavors: Stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to ensure everything is combined thoroughly.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.

This deluxe version of campfire hot chocolate is more than just a drink; it's a warming, comforting experience that brings a touch of luxury to your camping adventures. Enjoy it with loved ones or as a solitary treat, letting the natural beauty around you enhance every sip.
