Cold Coco

Who doesn’t like chocolate? Specially when you can sip on it! Thick chocolate shakes are tasty but finishing a whole cup of it, sounds like a task as they are so heavy. But what if I told you that I have come up with a recipe which is amazingly tasty and super chocolaty. You can sip a whole glass without feeling heavy and it’s so refreshing. This quick drink is ready in no time which few ingredients and it’s more addictive than coffee.

 

INGREDIENTS USED IN THIS COLD COCO

• MILK

It is a milk based beverage and has 1 + ¼ cups of milk. 1 cup is added directly to the saucepan and the other ¼ cup milk is incorporated with other ingredients to form slurry. If you want to make for more people, you can simply double the entire recipe and you will be sorted! I generally use full cream milk as they make my drinks very rich and creamy. If you want you can use toned or cow milk as well.

• SUGAR

I am adding two tablespoons of caster sugar. If you want you can also substitute it with brown sugar and you can also reduce the quantity of two tablespoons to one tablespoon, according to your taste preference!

• CORN FLOUR

For the thickening agent I am using corn flour which is cooked with other ingredients on the stove and make this cold coco nice and thick! Because of corn flour only, this col coco gets its velvety texture.

• COCOA POWDER

To make this cold coco have a nice chocolate flavor, I have added 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder. Generally I use hershys and cadbury’s cocoa powder as they have a great aroma and are easily available everywhere; if you have some other cocoa powder you can use that too.

• CHOCOLATE

To make this delicious cold coco super chocolaty and to add a great texture I have added 3tbsp of chopped dark chocolate chocolate. You can either use dark chocolate or milk chocolate according to your preference. If you want the drink to be on the sweeter side you can use milk chocolate.

• ICE CUBES

It is a cold nutella coco so while serving it has to have ice cubes! I love my drinks to stay cold while I am sipping on them so I am adding ice cubes, if you don’t want it to be that cold; you can skip it too.

TIPS AND TRICKS TO MAKE THIS COLD COCO

I recommend using full fat milk to make this cold coco for the perfect consistency.

Do not forget to mix immediately after adding corn flour to avoid lumps. Or you can make a slurry of corn flour , coco powder and little bit of milk before adding.

Make sure to cool the cold coco at room temperature properly before adding loads of ice while serving!

For the garnish, you can add marshmallows, grated dark chocolate or even dust cocoa powder.

You can even serve this cold coco with vanilla ice-cream or whipped cream and a generous drizzle of chocolate ganache on it.

If this cold coco gets lumpy, you can always sieve it before serving.

Make sure you cook it till it get thickens and let the corn flour gets cooked properly too.

EQUIPMENTS USED TO MAKE COLD COCO

The kind of equipment you use when you’re baking makes a huge difference to the end result! I would recommend you to use good quality mixing bowls and other equipment so that your cold coco comes out delicious.

I have used Borosil Induction for making my coco. It makes cooking hassle free and quick.
