Decadent Hot Chocolate

It was a cold blustery wet day when I saw this in my local paper and I thought "I just have to make some to cheer me up" I am so glad I did. You can if you like add a strip of orange peel to the milk as it heats or dissolve the sugar in some strong coffee instead of water for a change. Also you can add some liqueur to the milk just before serving. You can also use soy milk or almond milk for those that are lactose intolerant. To be even more decadent top with a teaspoon of whipped cream when serving. Enjoy....I know I did

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 500 ml milk (you can use soy or almond milk if you can't have dairy)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon hot water
  • 140 g quality dark chocolate (coarsely chopped, I used Cadburys Energy Chocolate)

Directions

  1. 1
    Pour the milk into a heavy bottomed deep small saucepan.
  2. 2
    Dissolve the sugar in the water and add to the milk.
  3. 3
    Add the chocolate and whisk over gentle medium heat until the chocolate is melted and the milk is hot but not boiling.Be careful because you don't want to burn the chocolate.
  4. 4
    Remove from heat and with a stick blender froth the milk. (This is why you need a deep pot!).
  5. 5
    This will give the milk a smooth texture and prevent a skin forming.
  6. 6
    Pour into small cups or mugs and top with whipped cream for a truly decadent chocolate 'fix' :).

Fabulous! But I messed up - I left enough room to add whipped cream and then found out that I had run out! I used French 70% cocoa solids - I LOVE real hot chocolate and this was easy and truly chocolately! Made for Aussie/NZ recipe swap - thanks Jen! FT

    Wooooweeeee, this drink is decadent and I loved it! I used Belgian Extra Dark Chocolate and heated the ingredients on my stove-top first. After the chocolate was melted into the milk, I put the mixture into my Magic Bullet blender and got it all nice and frothy. This is wonderful for a late night snack with some graham crackers. Thanks, Jen T!
