I am very picky when it comes to hot chocolate. I always make it with milk, never water. I absolutely do not like hot chocolate made with water. And there is only one brand of powdered hot chocolate that I like. As much as I like making hot chocolate from scratch, there are times when a packet comes in handy, especially when my kids want some hot chocolate they can easily make it themselves.
Making hot chocolate with three different milks, make for a delicious mug of cocoa with a subtle coconut flavor. You can taste the coconut flavor because one of the milks is coconut milk, but it is not an overwhelming coconut flavor.

Ingredients:
- 2 cups milk
- 14 ounce can unsweetened coconut milk
- 2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, coconut milk and sweetened condensed milk, until well combined. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat, stirring often.
- Once the mixture comes to a simmer, whisk in the cocoa powder until the mixture is completely smooth.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Serve immediately topped with whipped cream.
Enjoy!!!
