A rich and creamy Spanish-style hot chocolate, perfect for cozy mornings or indulgent evenings.
In a medium saucepan, combine the cocoa powder and sugar.
Mixing the dry ingredients first ensures even distribution of sweetness.
Dissolve the cornstarch in the cold water in a small bowl.
Using cold water prevents clumping of the cornstarch.
Add the cornstarch mixture to the saucepan with the cocoa and sugar, stirring to form a smooth paste.
Stir continuously to avoid lumps.
Gradually pour in the milk while stirring, ensuring the mixture remains smooth.
Adding the milk slowly helps maintain a consistent texture.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and becomes glossy.
Keep stirring to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Serve the hot chocolate warm in mugs, optionally garnished with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cocoa powder.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
