FAQs

Why is cornstarch used in the hot chocolate recipe?

  • Cornstarch thickens the hot chocolate without drastically raising the fat or total calorie amount. Additionally, it also offers a richer and smoother texture.

Which type of cocoa powder works best for this beverage?

  • The flavor of Dutch-processed cocoa powder is smoother and less acidic than that of natural cocoa powder, which is stronger and fruitier. You can utilize either depending on your taste.

Can I garnish this hot chocolate cup?

  • Decorate the cup with mini sugar-free marshmallows and a hint of ground cinnamon.
