@@SenorJuan2023I don’t recommend using water for this hot cocoa, as it will be very thin and bland (some dry mixes use water but they incorporate milk powder).
looks delicious. thanks for explaining about cacao powder. always wondered about the difference and now I know. I subscribed too. Looking forward to more of your yum yum cooking.
I`ve just learned that Cacao can have massive health benefits for us all. I`ve just bought some and found your recipe for making a drink. If i use a natural homegrown honey to sweeten would the natural built in properties of organic honey be destroyed in the warming process or would they remain unaffected? Thank you.
Hi there! If you want to preserve the properties of the honey, add it after the cacao is made, once it's cooled slightly. You can also swap out the honey for maple syrup. I hope you enjoy!!
I had to use 1⅓ cups evaporated milk and ⅔ cup almond milk, that's all I had. Added a bit of ground espresso powder and ground cinnamon stick with powdered sugar. With the vanilla extract, honey, and the pinch of sea salt I shook it in an airtight container and then put it into the pan and warmed it, stirring all the while. I did have to add more almond milk when I served it, but it will keep in the fridge too. Thank you for this video, it's excellently done.
I was looking for a hot chocolate recipe for Christmas morning and this looks like one my family will enjoy minus the additional chocolate, simple and sweet ☺️. Thanks!
I always find that the raw cacao doesn't dilute into the milk. Maybe I need to mix it more vigorously or something... Anyways, solid recipe. Thanks for sharing!
this is so good! And will help with my cravings! I sweetened it with cinnamon and with a serving of cool whip with almond milk. Not as healthy as it can be but 90 calories ? I will take it
Yes it will lose its beneficial properties. And don't consume more that one and a half teaspoon of cacao in a day as it has LEAD and CADMIUM that cause cancer! th-cam.com/video/iPRYekXO2Z4/w-d-xo.html
Honey shouldn't be heated as per Ayurveda. It might cause damage to the body. You can however use coconut sugar instead of honey. Just a suggestion, loved the recipe!

Sorry for the delay, but absolutely! Stevia is a great choice if you prefer to go sugar free. Just start small, since it can quickly overpower the hot chocolate.
If you exceed 40°C honey losses of all nutritional properties and vitamins,... That's not what you want, The bees worked too hard to destroy it in stupid cocoa in the end... I see people are giving away idiotic recipes that don't really contain the real meaning of eating food... Instead just replace it with sugar.

Thanks

OMGGGGG, half way through and still no recipe. Should have looked in comments first.
🙏
yess no offence to her but that is too long for an intro. nice recipe though!
I actually do this with almond milk. It works great. Delicious hot chocolate.
Hi Alan, I'm so glad to hear. Thanks for your comment!
@@FromScratchFast I use the canned coconut milk.
Since I don't drink coffee, I might have this EVERY morning! Thanks so much
I'm so glad to hear! We love it in the morning too 😀
Same not a fan of coffee at all I kinda hate coffee

Love these recipe because there is no expensive dark chocalate in it and still looks good, I would add the honey after the drinks cool down tho.
Thank you!! You can absolutely add the honey after, or you can go for coconut sugar or maple syrup instead!

made it with coconut milk. Perfection in a cup.
Thank makes me so happy to hear! It's a perfect day for a cup of cocao 😀
Oh my, Im in love , and I'm not talking about the hot chocolate 😂
Okay! I just gave your recipe a shot and oh my God! It was amazing! My wife and daughter gulped it all! Thank you!
Woohoo! This makes me so happy to hear. Thanks for sharing!
Made it exactly how you said. We couldn't even finish a small coffee cup worth. We sure liked the whipped topping though
Try this ! Far healthier two frozen bananas 2 tablespoon of cocoa powder , 1 tsp vanilla essence and 1 oz cashew nuts , mix in blender until blended !
No liquid?
Not healthier for a diabetic. Bananas are concentrated sugar.
Just made my 1st cup. This is real! Tks mama!!😁
Hooray! So happy to hear 😊

A friend brought me some cacoa powder from Cote D'Ivoie Africa where coco bean is grown and harvested. OMG
Having some hot cacao with collagen peptides while watching…👍
Love it!
My first cup is Perfect😀

You can also make it a cold blended drink. You can also add in a banana
Absolutely! We even refrigerate leftovers for chocolate milk. 😊

Thank you! I love the addition of espresso powder. Yum!
It’s the best and healthiest hot chocolate! Good job! Thank you Nikki! ❤
So happy you love it!!
Can I use unsweetened coconut milk from carton? Or does it got to be canned?
Hi there! Yes, you can use coconut milk from a carton but the hot cocoa won't be as rich. However, it's a matter of taste!
Omg I just did it, Its so yummy ,
But I used honey.
Looks delicious!! I also have similar recipe (but with some superfood powders) 😊

Thank you but this lady is absolutely stunning so I didn’t mind watching and listening for the full 3 mins + 34 secs 😊
Oh wow I just must say i love that recipe its awesome this woman surely has the brain and mind of a chef. GIRL POWER WINS ❤❤❤❤❤💋
I love it!! Thank you so much 😀
I found this hot chocolate recipe was a lot easier to put all ingredients in our blender then put into our Microwave to heat up it was great!!!
Hi Robert, that's such a great tip!!
Honey should never b heated... add after it is removed from gas and little cold
Does simmering it remove the benefits of the Cacao? ( I'll still use that because it's better than store mixes.)
Doesn’t heating cacao cause it to lose some of its nutrients? That’s what I’m curious about
Would this work with oat milk I wonder? Thanks for sharing this.
Hi there! I do think oat milk would work well. Let me know if you give it a go!
I always find that the raw cacao doesn't dilute into the milk. Maybe I need to mix it more vigorously or something... Anyways, solid recipe. Thanks for sharing!
Try using a wisk!
Use blender
mine always clumps up too. I now make a paste with the powder and cold milk to eliminate lumps.
J F I do the same.
this is so good! And will help with my cravings! I sweetened it with cinnamon and with a serving of cool whip with almond milk. Not as healthy as it can be but 90 calories ? I will take it
Hi James, I'm so glad you enjoyed!!
Can i use hershey's dark cocoa powder for this receipe??
This is what I was looking for! Healthy hot chocolate milk! Thanks a lot!

You are a HAPPY person
So good.....just what I searched for amazingly clear. Off to the kitchen . Bravo!
Thank you so much, and enjoy the hot cocoa!!
Nice and simple love it!
Thank you! Cheers!
Love This!❤️
Does simmering the cacao powder cause it to lose its beneficial properties?
Simmering will not affect the vitamin and mineral content of the cocoa!
From Scratch Fast oh awesome thank you!
Yes it will lose its beneficial properties.
And don't consume more that one and a half teaspoon of cacao in a day as it has LEAD and CADMIUM that cause cancer!

How long do I simmer it for?
Hi Natalie, you just need to bring it to a simmer, so that it's warmed through. I hope you enjoy!
hi I was just wondering if you could replace the cacao powder with cocoa powder if you don't have any
Absolutely! The cacao powder lends a richer flavor, but you could use a good cocoa powder in its place. I hope you enjoy!

could i do this with oat milk?

Is the whipped cream made from scratch or store brought?
I made the whipped cream from scratch by beating heavy cream with a splash of vanilla and a touch of sugar. :)

@@PORTMIAMIMIKE You can use any brand of heavy cream! I typically by Organic Valley because it's readily available in my market, but any brand will work. :)

Hershey's will work but the flavor won't be as rich. Feel free to add more of the cocoa powder to taste!
@@FromScratchFast ok. I had mine again this morning instead of the usual coffee.
Doesn’t work on my stomach the way coffee does first thing.
Can I use Jaggery powder instead of honey?
While I haven't tested the cocoa with jaggery powder I think it would work great! Keep me posted. 😊
Love this recipe. But just don’t add honey and boil as it changes it’s chemical property. You can add it later just before consuming it
What if I do not have vanilla extract?
You can make it without the vanilla. It will still be delicious!
Thanks I put coconut fat with mine also
That sounds delicious!
Can I add stevia instead of honey?
Why not
Sorry for the delay, but absolutely! Stevia is a great choice if you prefer to go sugar free. Just start small, since it can quickly overpower the hot chocolate.

How did you make the whip cream
Araceli Garayaraceli you can just take powedered sugar and some milk or cream and whip it all together!
Beat egg white until it’s very thick then add some powdered sugar! Tip: whip until soft peak
Heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract :)
Yani Jani Ahhh I’m sorry if this comes out rude but that’s a recipe for a meringue
The sounds isn’t high enough
I tried but the cacao powder taste just ruined it all
Bobby says raw honey better
I agree! We eat raw honey in our house too!
have i been pronouncing coacoa powder wromg this whole time...
Cacao is the less refined version of Cocoa. Basically dark chocolate in natural form with no sugar or whatsoever.
*cocoa powder bot cacao powder
God you are so pretty😍😍
honey isnt healthy
If you exceed 40°C honey losses of all nutritional properties and vitamins,... That's not what you want, The bees worked too hard to destroy it in stupid cocoa in the end... I see people are giving away idiotic recipes that don't really contain the real meaning of eating food... Instead just replace it with sugar.
I think honey retains all of its properties when it's mixed in off-heat.
it also gets poisonous and ANYTHING over a teaspoon will KILL YOU
Why you’re so mad about it? Have some emotional control
@@matheusmarques7009 okay then but if you die from it its your fault
