  • Milk: Essential base for creamy texture, adds richness and balances the sweetness of the cocoa powder and sugar.
  • Cocoa powder: Provides rich chocolate flavor, essential for making hot chocolate and gives it a deep, dark color.
  • Sugar: Sweetens the hot chocolate, balancing the bitterness of cocoa powder and enhancing the overall flavor profile.
  • Vanilla extract: Adds a subtle depth of flavor and enhances the overall taste of the hot chocolate, making it more aromatic.

Essential Tools for Making Hot Chocolate in Your Pressure Cooker
