Hot Chocolate
Perfect on a cold, wintry day, this hot chocolate recipe only requires two simple ingredients, making it an irresistible beverage just waiting to be sipped.
Ingredients
- 480 ml (2 cups) skimmed milk, Fairlife brand suggested
- 85 g (½ cup) milk chocolate chips
- ⅓ teaspoon peppermint extract, or orange, coconut or vanilla extract
Directions
- Place all ingredients (plus any optional add-in ingredient desired) into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
- Start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed. Blend for 6 minutes or until heavy steam escapes from vented lid.
Chef's Notes
Since our aeration container still heats like our other containers, it will conveniently melt the chocolate as it heats the milk and then blend them both together homogeneously. Fairlife brand skim milk is suggested as it creates a uniform, creamy foam.

Mexican hot chocolate
Cayenne and cinnamon can be added to make Mexican hot chocolate. Masala Chai spices like clove, cardamom, fresh ginger, and cloves can also be added. Most US chocolate that is not fair trade, Utz, or organic certified is harvested with child and teen slave labor, so be careful of your sources. Grass-fed and organic milk has anti-inflammatory ,compounds in the fat,including Omega 3's AND helps metabolize the calcium, so you may wish to consider low-fat or whole milk, instead of skim. For an even more healthful drink you can use unsweetened chocolate and raw wildflower honey...Be careful where the honey is from, as well. Local is best.

Frothy Chocolatety Goodness!
Yum yum yum!!! We used dark chocolate chips (60%) and 1% milk in the 64 oz. low profile container. (We don't have the Aer Disc Container.) It was frothy and tastes natural. My 83 year old mom said it made her day complete. :D

Amazing hot chocolate
This is my first time using my new Aer disc conainer and this recipe was so easy and taste amazing. My daughter said, “This sure beats those packets where you just add water” The foam on top gave it a coffee shop feel.

Easiest Homemade Hot Chocolate Ever!
I made this with the directed ingredients but in my 64 oz. container. (Waiting for the aer disk to come in:D) I just used the Hot Soup setting and I think that's somewhere between 5-6 minutes. Came out perfectly!!! Next time I think I will try some of the recommended flavorings.

Looks delicious
This looks great! Can I also make this in my regular vitamix or does it only work in an Aer disc container?

Frothy fun
Today was my first day using the vitamix machine. This recipe was easy and delicious! The froth on top was fun for my kids (4, 5 and 7) and added a nice texture and taste for me.

The BEST hot chocolate
I was given the AER for my Vitamix. It came with this recipe for hot chocolate. I made it with skim milk and the chocolate chips, it was delicious. When it was done it was the perfect drinking temperature. A real hit with my husband and kids!
