When you think of great hot chocolate, you generally think of New England, the upper Midwest, and other cold weather areas.
Maybe so, but do not overlook Louisiana. Specifically, South Louisiana, where food and drink are taken very seriously.
In fact, my very favorite hot chocolate recipe belongs to a university administrator, wife, and mother who grew up in Abbeville, where nearly everyone is an accomplished cook, even the men. Here is Amanda's recipe.
Pour ten cups of powdered milk (dry) into a good sized bowl.
Combine it with two and a half cups of Coffee-Mate.
Fold in eighteen ounces of cocoa mix. Amanda uses Nestle's.
Add 1 1/4 cups of powdered sugar, and mix everything together thoroughly.
Amanda suggests that you immediately try a cup of the cocoa to determine whether you might want to add a bit more of something. Just put two heaping teaspoons of the hot chocolate mixture in a cup of hot water. You'll love it as is, but you may want to add a bit more chocolate or sugar.
Whether you make a little ingredient adjustment or not, you and your family will love the results. - 16650
