How to Make The Best Hot Chocolate Of All Time (4 ways) 

*He’s like a cross between a cooking channel and a meme channel*

“Not judging or anything, but if you’re using powder and water” I use milk and powder

I realized something fun: If you use dark cocoa powder, one serving of this contains 12% daily fiber 20% daily iron 22% daily potassium 22% daily protein 30% daily calcium That's super delicious and healthier (in terms of nutrients) than a bowl of corn flakes!

C'mon, we all know the REAL mexican hot chocolate is chocolate abuelita and if it tastes spicy is because we mixed it in the same blender we made salsa earlier for our chilaquiles But for real, interesting recipe, might try some day

I’m just now noticing this but I love how he gives out both American and metric units when giving measurements

"But do you wanna know what else is a winner?" my mind: *Skillshare*

My Italian grandma has a lot of really old and amazing recipes and I always loved her hot chocolate, personally hers had a lot a sugar so it’s nice to find a variety with less

As someone who has never cared to look up a recipe for hot chocolate, these look awesome to try for the cold months ahead. I usually just simmer milk and add semi melted 70% dark chocolate, sugar, and a minute pinch of salt.

Wife: You've been in the kitchen for an hour, is dinner ready yet? Me: I'm making a cup of hot chocolate...

I counted the C’s in the “thicc” and I happy to report the there where 18 C’s

For anyone who might find this helpful: Minute 1:32 hot chocolate from cocoa powder Minute 2:32 Italian hot chocolate from chopped dark chocolate Minute 3:37 Mexican hot chocolate from dark chocolate + cocoa

I just made the more basic of the three with a couple small changes (a little more sugar and about a half teaspoon of cornstarch), and it's so good!

“It’s starting to get cold, winter is coming around” Australia: Yeah nah

Alrigth, being german, I was terrified when I learned that hot chocolate seems to be made mainly with water in america

Ngl non-Mexican people will think it’s Mexican hot chocolate because of the chili but Mexican hot chocolate is just whole milk and a tablet of Chocolate Abuelita

My family's favorite way to make hot chocolate is to chop up 3 Musketeers bars and melt in a pot with a mixture of bourbon vanilla, milk and half & half. Measurements are sort of optional in family recipes so it comes out slightly different everytime, but always delicious.

And then there’s that one guy that just microwaves chocolate milk

I tried the "Italian" hot chocolate but I used too much corn starch and it was pretty much mousse at that point

Hot chocolate is something I usually only drink when I’m really stressed or anxious and need a comfort drink. So I need it to take like 5 minutes instead of 30 lol. But if it’s like a cold day out and your chilling, maybe making hot chocolate for multiple people, then I think these recipes are a great idea! I will definitely try making these in the future:D they sound lovely.

Thanks. Good video. I'm never 100% sure I can make money. Never place 100% of your savings in just one type or type of investment

Ever realize that Weissman is a pretty good restaurant name?

Italian method sounds incredible, cornstarch to thicken is genius.

Thanks for this. The first recipe is the one I learned from my mom while growing up. For a while I got away from making my own hot chocolate since we live in Louisiana where the temperatures are generally "tropical and balmy" and cold days are few and far between. That said, though when December rolls around I start to crave hot chocolate and wait anxiously for a cold day where I can sit by a fire and enjoy a hot cup of cocoa. Can't wait to try these!

i made the italian style just now and its amazing. i love the thickness of it (tbh i think i made it a little too thick its like a pudding but i still love it)

"Winter is coming" Me who lives somewhere without the 4 seasons: "Oh okay"

•Instant hot chocolate - 1:02 •Easy single serving hot chocolate - 1:34 •Italian hot chocolate - 2:32 •Mexican hot chocolate - 3:47

The fact that he show us how to make the best hot chocolate ever just shows how good he is at making these kinds of stuff at his house :)

This is the video that introduced me to Joshua. As an avid hot chocolate fan, I’ve been following ever since. Been learning amazing things for 2 years. Thank you Papa!

When I went to Italy and ordered some hot chocolate I legit thought they just melted some chocolate into my cup, it was THICCCCCC

I’m Italian and the Italian hot chocolate you made is perfect.

I relate to the premixed powder vs. basic hot chocolate one. I make my homemade chocolate syrup with water + cocoa powder, heated tuntil emulsified, stir in sugar and some milk to prevent clumping. Then add extra milk until diluted to milk chocolate level. Compared to powdered chocolate mix, it is like night and day. So much more chocolatey and intense and creamy.

Made the Italian Hot Choco and it was sooo good! It’s very rich!! I think I can dip my churro in here too! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

Greek Style Hot Chocolate: -vanilla bean -dark chocolate -cocoa powder -water -sweetened condensed milk There are no measurements because my Yaya would always say, "measurements?! what measurements? we go by what tastes good"

real mexican hot chocolate recipe: - 1 bar of "chocolate abuelita" - 1 lt of whole milk

I call this video (December treat), I always come back to it for treating myself in winter 🥶

I’ve made the Italian chocolate recipe about a million times since I first viewed this video. It’s the BOMB!

Joshua: "I mean you no harm." Italians: "Harm's done."

This that hot chocolate that Flanders makes in The Simpson’s Movie

I just adore your youthful enthusiasm!

I make my own powder with powdered milk, cornstarch, nutmeg, cinnamon and such. The trick is 'cooking' it to activate the cornstarch. But it's very good for 'just add water' made from scratch.

all the measurements: in metric *happiness noises* "4 ounces of chocolate" *anger*

My 4 types of hot chocolate: Hot milk & powder Cold milk & power Hot milk & too much powder so it so it's all at the bottom of the cup Juts hot milk cause i've run out of powder

I make hot chocolate about once every couple of months. But I make several cups and drink it throughout the evening. My first time going to Spain, was a chilly Autumn with my girlfriend. We sat outside a cafe, pulled out a map while figuring where to go first. Being chilly, we didn't want a cold drink. I suggested "Hot Chocolate". When the Hot Chocolate came, a spoon was in each cup. Not on the side of the saucer like you would think. It was incredibly rich and thick and tasted unbelievable. After 5 minutes of sipping and looking at the map. We realized why we had a spoon. We were drinking rich Chocolate Pudding! Still slightly warm, it had firmed up enough where we needed to use the spoon. Not sure if that is typical Spanish Hot Chocolate. But it sure was GREAT!

Joshua I am literally having a cup as we speak and I have to say your method is spot on happiness in a cup. God bless happy Holidays.

3:46 me mexican, waiting for him to make some chocolate abuelita he: *pulls out chili* me : shook

“What’s thats guys name again” “Him, that’s millennial chef funny man who leaves things in warm jars”

I ALWAYS use milk with my powdered coco mix, with that said… this truly enlightened me. So thank you!! 🤗☕️

Love this video! Definitely the time of year where I’ll be trying these hot chocolates with a candy cane stick! 😋☕️

Even better: Go full on Aztec style and make some Xocolatl from whole cocoa beans

"18 c's" Me: *Immediately goes back and counts*

The second recipe is the one i used, it turned out amazing. My family loved it.

I love how I’m binge watching this guy’s videos as if I’m ever getting out of my bed and making any of these

1:05 WHY IS THE NECK OF THE BOTTLE SO SMALL ITS GIVING ME ANXIETY

Me: *makes hot chocolate* Dad: *why are you making it differently?* Me: *Jesus told me to*

I tried ur Italian hot chocolate recipe and it’s been my favourite now 🌸

I love the first one (not the instant one... the first homemade one) for how quick and simple it is! You should have made a white chocolate one too. Obviously, you don't like the super sweet ones so the white chocolate one is not gonna be your favorite, but for people, like me, who love their sugar, a white hot chocolate is insanely good!

I’m Mexican and we normally just use “Chocolate Abuelita” and we’re ready to go lol

Me watching these videos knowing I have none of the ingredients “I want to try making that”.

It was mind-blowing . The flavour of the Italian Hot Chocolate☕is so good I LOVE It ❤️. Thanks ❣️

i’ve never agreed more about going somewhere to get hot chocolate, it doesn’t matter about how good it is, it’s just the comfort haha

It is MILK and powder, water and powder shouldn’t be a thing.

When he said traditional Mexican chocolate I thought he was going to use chocolate Abuelita lmao

That B roll is so much a winner. 🤤🤤🤤🤤

honestly these look amazing

Everybody talking about the chocolate while I can’t stop thinking about his beautiful,well organized and clean kitchen

When he started the Mexican hot chocolate I was waiting for the Abuelitas hot chocolate

I tried the Italian Hot chocolate, and it was very good!! Thank u for the recipe!

Ooh I like the reverse b-roll shot, b-roll's a winner🏆

"I'm trying not to be judgemental" proceeds to throw the whole cup in the sink after barely tasting it lol

Joshua: this Mexican hot chocolate isn't that traditional lol Me, a Mexican, heating up some milk in the microwave and getting out the instant hot chocolate powder mix: oh uh haha yeah

I tried the Italian hot chocolate and everyone loved it!!!

Awesome video! Made me laugh with the motorcycle!😆

Tried the Italian hot chocolate and OH MY GOD! It’s seriously cafe style and I loveeeeee itt!! Also I used milk chocolate instead and avoided the sugar still turned out great though

Josh: Simple hot chocolate Me: *can’t even find the first three ingredients*

This is the happiest josh video of all time

I love your sense of humor

“There are other types of hot chocolate besides the powder and the water.” *Steve1989 senses a disturbance in the force*

me, the other day: im really craving hot chocolate i want it rlly thicc josh: say no more

All these homemade hot chocolates are definitely worth a try! They are all way better than instant hot chocolate. The Italian one won with its thick and creamy texture. Thanks a lot!🍫☕

Just coming here to say that this was one of my first Joshua Weissman videos. Been thoroughly enjoying the journey ever since.

Comments: Water and powder is a crime punishable by death! Me: *Nervous sweating*

I'm Mexican. I've lived here for exactly all of my life. I've drank at least hundreds of gallons worth of hot chocolate, and I've never, ever, ever in the whole entirety of my existence, have heard about putting a chile together with hot chocolate. Nevertheless, now I'm curious and would love to try it out. EDIT: It's been about a year and I have yet to see or try this version somewhere around here. EDIT 2: it's been 2 whole years already. Still haven't heard, seen or tasted this version here in Mexico.

i'm italian, and i'd say that's pretty accurate, we usually use milk + ciobar (a powder that i think might be the things you used, just bought directly like that) and the consistency looks the same to me :) we like our hot chocolate to be thick

The coffee shop I barista at has a recipe that involves locally made dark chocolate sauce, steamed milk, and topped with grated chocolate. It's probably the best hot chocolate I've ever had

Tips I've learned from too many years experimenting with hot chocolate: - Skip the heavy cream. I've found that great hot choc. will do fine with a base of whole milk. Anything fattier will create a disgusting skin on top of your drink if the temp drops even a little bit, and we don't want that. (Super thick drinking chocolates are usually thickened with cornstarch, not with heavier cream.) - A dash of vanilla and a dash of salt. But mostly the dash of salt. Even if you're not going for a 'fancy' hot chocolate like the Mexican stuff, the salt really just rounds out the sweetness. - The super thick, italian kinds of "drinking chocolate" are meant to be sipped slowly out of a small cup like an espresso. Not drunk in the same quantities as a huge mug. Just... trust me. It's not good. (Edit, because there seems to be some confusion: when I say "drinking chocolate," I mean the super super thick kind that has the consistency of melted chocolate, NOT HOT COCOA, THE DRINK. Obviously hot cocoa can be drunk in large quantities LOL but the melted chocolate kind of drink is very very rich and sweet)

This guy cutting chocolate: perfect slices Me Cutting chocolate: FUCKING EXPLODES

Perfect! It’s snowing here in Dallas. Thank you for sharing.

I just fully documented the hot chocolate recipe into my Obsidian Knowledge Base, and I'm now more of a fan than I've ever been of your work.

How to sprinkle something professionally Get 1% into the actual cup, and the other in every directions

The Italian one looks so good i wanna cry

i was waiting for it

When he said that first one was as sweet as dirt he wasnt kidding i had to add like 3 tablespoons of nesquick powder to it to be able to drink it lol.

This dude looks like he just finished his carpentry apprenticeship

"That *SOUNDS* thicc" sorry i forgot the 18 C's *Thicccccccccccccccccc*

Finally a video that speaks to my soul 😂 Couldn’t agree more. Thanks a million dude!!!

I'm loving this so much!

I feel creeped out. I literally went to grab some hot chocolate at my job just because i feel cold. I sat down and decided to opened RU-vid. First thing that I saw is this. Am I being spied on.

Joshua: One chile Me as a mexican: Haha, nice joke Joshua: *actually uses the chile* Me: okay hold on

In my browser I do not have a short cut for youtube but I do have one for this video! The italian hot chocolat is my favorite and so everytime I want to open youtube I cklick on this video and so I have to smily and am in a very good mood. Thank you for this awesome video!
