Easy Hot Cocoa Microwave Recipes

CREAMY HOT COCOA

Steps:

• Combine the cocoa, sugar and pinch of salt in a saucepan. Blend in the boiling water. Bring this mixture to an easy boil while you stir. Simmer and stir for about 2 minutes. Watch that it doesn't scorch. Stir in 3 1/2 cups of milk and heat until very hot, but do not boil! Remove from heat and add vanilla. Divide between 4 mugs. Add the cream to the mugs of cocoa to cool it to drinking temperature.

MICROWAVE HOT CHOCOLATE RECIPE

Steps:

• Place coco and sugar in a microwave-able cup.
• Add 3 tblsp of milk and blend well.
• Top with milk and microwave in high for 1 and 1/2 minutes or until the milk starts to boil. You see that top?

MICROWAVE HOT CHOCOLATE

• Combine sugar, cocoa, salt, and hot water in a 1 quart microwave safe measuring cup.
• Microwave at HIGH for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, or until boiling.
• Add milk, stir and microwave an additional 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until hot.

• * This serves 4 but for 1 cup, place 2 heaping teaspoons sugar with 1 heaping teaspoons cocoa and a tiny dash of salt in microwave safe mug. Add 2 teaspoons cold milk and stir until smooth. Fill cup more milk and microwave on HIGH for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes or until hot. Stir to blend. There is no mention of vanilla here but it may be a typo. I would add a drop!

HOMEMADE HOT COCOA

5-MINUTE VEGAN HOT COCOA

Steps:

• Add almond milk to a large mug and microwave for 1 minute. Alternatively, add to a saucepan over medium heat.
• Once milk is warm, add cocoa powder, chocolate and sweetener and whisk to combine.
• Put back in microwave or continue cooking on stovetop until completely combined and has reached your preferred temperature.
• Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
• Lastly, add in your extract of choice - I think peppermint is truly unbeatable. Stir, and top with coconut whipped cream.

HOT COCOA MUG CAKE

Steps:

• Whisk together 1/4 cup flour, 2 Tbsp granulated sugar, 1/4 cup hot cocoa mix, 1/4 tsp baking powder, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
• Add in 1/4 cup hot water, 2 Tbsp vegetable oil, and 1/4 tsp vanilla. Stir together with a whisk together until no clumps of flour remain.
• Pour into a 12 oz or larger microwave-safe mug and sprinkle 1 Tbsp of chocolate chips over the top of the batter.
• Heat for 60 seconds then check the doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs (melted chocolate is ok too if you hit a chocolate chip), your mug cake is ready! If the batter is still liquid in the center, heat for an additional 15 seconds, then retest with a toothpick. Repeat until your mug cake is cooked through.
• Let the cake cool for a few minutes (or else you will burn your tongue - trust me!!), then top with your favorite toppings and enjoy warm! Ice cream, whipped cream, Nutella, caramel sauce, or chocolate sauce all work great as a topping.
