Categories     Chocolate

Yield 8 cups

Number Of Ingredients 3

10 ounces best-quality bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped
2 quarts milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. Combine chocolate and milk in a large saucepan over medium heat. Whisk until chocolate is melted and milk is very hot and frothy, about 20 minutes. 2. Remove from heat. Add vanilla; pour into a blender, filling halfway. Blend, holding lid in place (the hot liquid will expand), until frothy. Serve immediately. Blend remaining milk-and-chocolate mixture.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is recommended.
  • Don't overheat the milk. Scald the milk over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it just begins to simmer. Do not boil the milk, as this will cause the chocolate to seize.
  • Add the chocolate to the hot milk slowly, whisking constantly. This will help to prevent the chocolate from clumping.
  • Sweeten the hot chocolate to taste. You can use sugar, honey, or maple syrup.
  • Top the hot chocolate with whipped cream, marshmallows, or shaved chocolate for a special treat.

Conclusion:

The perfect hot chocolate is a rich, creamy, and chocolatey drink that can be enjoyed on a cold winter's day or as a special treat. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make the perfect hot chocolate at home. So gather your ingredients, put on your apron, and let's get started!
