How do you thicken hot chocolate?

Hey team, I'm on a quest to make my hot chocolate thicker, craving that rich, velvety texture. I've tried more cocoa, but it's hit or miss. ☺Heard cornstarch could work, yet I'm hesitant. Does anyone have experience or tricks up their sleeve for this? Maybe a secret ingredient or method I'm missing? Looking forward to your tips to achieve that dreamy thickness!

I think you can thicken hot chocolate by adding ingredients like cornstarch or cocoa powder! Though be careful not to add too much, as it can alter the taste and texture. Experimenting with small amounts is key. Good luck!

In my opinion, adding a splash of heavy cream or condensed milk can add creaminess and thickness to the hot chocolate . Though, it's important to stir well and taste as you go to achieve the desired consistency.

To thicken hot chocolate, you can add a small amount of cornstarch or cocoa powder mixed with water and stir it into the hot chocolate until it reaches your desired consistency. Alternatively, you can simmer the hot chocolate for a bit longer to allow some of the liquid to evaporate, naturally thickening the mixture.
