Cardamom Infused Hot Chocolate

Servings 2 small mugs
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Cardamom Infused Milk 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • cups whole milk
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • ½ tbsp corn starch
  • 84 grams dark chocolate chopped finely plus extra for garnish
  • 28 grams milk chocolate chopped finely plus extra for garnish
  • white chocolate chopped finely for garnish
  • 1.5 tbsp sugar
  • 6 cardamom pods

Instructions

  • Break open cardamom pods with the back of a knife.
  • In a medium saucepan heat the milk + cardamom. Right when you see the milk about to simmer remove it from heat. Let cardamom infuse in the milk for 20-30 minutes.
  • When the milk has infused remove the cardamom pods from the milk.
  • Cornstarch slurry: In a small bowl add cornstarch and a splash of the infused cardamom milk. Mix with a spoon.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat place chopped chocolate + cocoa powder + sugar + a splash of infused cardamom milk. Whisk until melted.
  • Slowly whisk in the rest of the infused cardamom milk. (If you like a thinner hot chocolate you could essentially stop here, but if you like a thicker hot cholate continue to the next step).
  • Whisk in the cornstarch slurry. Keep whisking until the mixture has thickened, 2-3 minutes.
  • Garnish with chopped milk, white, and dark chocolate. Or try some marshmallows or whipped cream.
  • Serve hot. If mixture cools down too much, warm again adding a bit of milk to thin it out.
