World's Best Hot Chocolate Recipe

Hi choco-lovers,

Here is the...

World's Best Hot Chocolate

Ingedients:
-2 oz Semisweet chocolate; chopped
-1 1/2 tb Sweet butter
-1/4 cups Whole milk
-1 cups Heavy cream

Directions:
In a small saucepan, mix everything together. Heat over medium heat, gently. When it reaches a boil, stir with a wooden spoon until the chocolate is completely melted(this may take a while as small specks remain till the very end).

When the chocolate is almost completely dissolved (if only tiny specks remain undissolved), turn the flame down and simmer to reduce your chocolate mix to very dense, dark brown hot chocolate.

Yum.

Great for those cold nights...

How About Some "Plain" Hot Chocolate?

Hi Chocolate Drinkers,

Okay, for the less adventurous, let's try some "regular" hot chocolate:

Hot Chocolate

-1 oz (generous) good sweet chocolate; broken to pieces
-a small quantity of milk; or water
-2 tb to 3 tbsp water or milk; boiling
-1 c Milk or water; boiling

Put the broken up pieces of chocolate with a small quantity of water or hot milk in a casserole dish on gentle heat. Cover the pan, let the chocolate soften, remove from stove top and whip into a smooth paste with a whisk or wooden spoon.

Add two or three tablespoons of boiling water or milk to dilute the paste, then slowly add the cup of boiling water or milk, continuing to stir all the time.

Hint: To retain the full aroma of the chocolate (the same applies to cocoa) the chocolate must never be allowed to boil.

Enjoy!

Simple and tasty!

God Bless,
