The campfire is roaring away, dinner has been eaten and the temperature is dropping. What next? Make a cosy Campfire Hot Chocolate, ZONE RV style. You may have guessed this isn’t like any other ordinary hot chocolate. This one is special. It’s creamy, luscious and cosy. It’s like a warm hug in a mug. And we’re very happy with that. It’s made from scratch and has no nasties that the instant varieties have. In our humble opinion, there really is nothing like a hot chocolate to heat up a cold winter camping trip. And all you need is a hot glowing coals, an enamel or cast iron saucepan, and a fork. So what are we waiting for? Let’s get making.
Serves
2 people
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup water
- 3 tbsp cocoa
- 3 cups milk
- 200g chocolate, roughly chopped
- 3 tsp white sugar
- 2 tbsp Thick dollop cream
Method
- Bring water to a simmer in a fire-safe saucepan over hot coals. Whisk cocoa powder in the water with a fork until there are no lumps. Add milk and continue to simmer.
- Whisk in chocolate and sugar, stir frequently until the liquid is smooth and creamy, and the chocolate has completely melted. This step should take about 5 minutes.
- Serve in mugs, and if you’re feeling extra fancy, top with thick cream straight from your fridge and stir. And enjoy!
