FRENCH HOT CHOCOLATE

One of my fondest memories of Paris was sipping a cup of thick, dark hot chocolate at one of their patisseries. French hot chocolate is velvety smooth, rich, decadent and almost the consistency of a molten chocolate bar. It is meant to be sipped slowly and savored. -Darlene Brenden, Salem, Oregon

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the hot chocolate will be. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Don't overheat the milk: Scald the milk until it reaches a temperature of about 180°F (82°C). If you overheat the milk, it will scorch and the hot chocolate will have a burnt flavor.
  • Whisk the chocolate and milk together gradually: This will help to prevent the chocolate from clumping.
  • Add flavorings: You can add flavorings such as vanilla extract, cinnamon, or nutmeg to taste.
  • Serve immediately: Hot chocolate is best enjoyed immediately after it is made.

Conclusion:

French hot chocolate is a rich and decadent treat that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and comforting hot chocolate that will warm you from the inside out.
