HOMEMADE HOT CHOCOLATE RECIPE - (4.5/5)
Provided by Gazelle
Number Of Ingredients 8
Steps:
- In a saucepan combine the whole milk, chocolate, light brown sugar, cocoa powder, and a pinch of kosher salt. Heat over medium heat whisking frequently, until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Cover to keep warm. WHIPPED CREAM: Whisk cold heavy cream to soft peaks in a bowl. Divide hot chocolate between two mugs, dollop each with whipped cream, and serve immediately.
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 use unsweetened chocolate. Unsweetened chocolate is too bitter for hot chocolate. Use semisweet or bittersweet chocolate instead.
- Use whole milk or cream. Whole milk or cream will make the hot chocolate richer and creamier. You can also use a combination of milk and water.
- Don't boil the milk. Boiling the milk will make the hot chocolate curdle. Instead, heat the milk until it is just simmering.
- Add the chocolate slowly. Add the chocolate to the milk in small pieces, stirring constantly. This will help prevent the chocolate from clumping.
- Sweeten to taste. Add sugar or honey to the hot chocolate to taste. You can also add other flavorings, such as vanilla extract, cinnamon, or nutmeg.
- Serve immediately. Hot chocolate is best served immediately. If you let it sit for too long, it will start to thicken and become grainy.
Conclusion:
Hot chocolate is a delicious and comforting drink that is perfect for a cold day. It is also a great way to use up leftover chocolate. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious cup of hot chocolate at home. So next time you are craving something sweet and chocolatey, reach for a mug of hot chocolate instead of a candy bar.
