French Hot Chocolate

Read...



I just made this following this recipe and even though I’m a hardcore chocolate lover I couldn’t finish a small cup. This is way too rich for me. Tried to dilute with milk after having some but it turned out to be a flop.

Ingredients:

    1 1/2 cups whole milk
    1/2 cup heavy cream
    2 teaspoons powdered sugar
    1/2 teaspoon espresso powder (optional, but delicious. Will intensify chocolate flavor)
    8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, at least 70%, chopped*
    Giant bowl of whipped cream, for serving

Directions:

    In a medium sauce pan over medium heat, whisk together the whole milk, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and espresso powder until small bubbles appear around edges. Do not allow the mixture to boil.
    Remove from saucepan from heat and stir in the chopped chocolate until melted, returning the sauce to low heat if needed for the chocolate to melt completely. Serve warm, topped with lots of whipped cream
