Tips & Substitutions
For a richer chocolate flavor, consider adding a pinch of vanilla extract or a dash of coffee. If you're out of cocoa powder, you can substitute with carob powder for a different taste. Be sure to stir constantly to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pan. If it thickens too much, you can add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.
