This recipe is from Allrecipes.com and we didn't modify it in any way--save massively increasing the quantities! It was delicious just as originally published, and folks have asked for the recipe we used at Evie's wedding. This is it, though it was the homemade marshmallows and other toppings that made it so over-the-top special! (That and the amazing decorations!)
Ingredients
1/3 C. unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 C. white sugar
1 pinch salt
1/3 C. boiling water
3 1/2 C. milk
3/4 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 C. half-and-half cream
Directions
1. Combine the first three ingredients in a saucepan.
2. Blend in the boiling water. Bring the mixture to an easy boil while you stir.
3. Simmer and stir for about two minutes. Watch that it doesn't scorch!
4. Stir in the milk and heat until very hot, but do not boil!
5. Remove from heat and add vanilla.
6. Divide between four mugs. Add the cream to the four mugs to cool it to drinking temperature,
For our purposes at the wedding, we massively increased the quantities, stirred in the cream at the end, and served it in a large sterno-heated carafe made for this purpose, which we rented. You cannot serve it in a large carafe like coffee is normally served in, as the direct heating element will scorch and burn your cocoa.
