Ingredients
- 3/4 cup milk (180g)
- 1 cup cream (240g)
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar (15g)
- 1/2 tsp espresso powder
- 8 oz good quality dark chocolate (226g); between 55-70% cocoa – chopped, wafers or callets recommended
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a nonstick saucepan and stir
- Place the pan over medium-low heat, and use a spatula to stir and cook for ~5-7 minutes until the chocolate has fully melted, there are no lumps, and the mixture starts to simmer
- Remove from heat and serve while hot, ideally with some plain whipped cream and a fresh croissant!
Notes
- Customization: Once the hot chocolate is made, you can taste and adjust the amount of sweetness by adding more sugar if needed. You can also make it thinner by adding some milk, although I recommend keeping it thick!
- Make ahead and storage: I recommend making and serving this hot chocolate fresh. It gets thicker as it cools down and doesn’t maintain the same texture if reheated. However, if you do end up with extra, keep it covered in the fridge. To reheat, cook again in a saucepan on the stove, and add a small amount of milk to adjust the texture to your liking
