Parisian Hot Chocolate image

I love collecting hot chocolate recipes from different countries. When wintering in Paris, one of life's great pleasures is sipping a cup of rich hot chocolate, le chocolat chaud, in a cozy café. This hot chocolate is deeply flavorful, but not over-the-top rich, so enjoy anytime! Adapted from David Lebovitz's blog

Time 10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 cups whole milk
5 ounces bittersweet chocolate (with at least 70% cacao solids)
2 tablespoons light brown sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the milk in a medium saucepan.
  • Once the milk is warm, whisk in the chocolate, stirring until melted and steaming hot.
  • For a thicker hot chocolate, cook at a very low boil for about 3 minutes, whisking frequently. Be careful and keep an eye on the mixture, as it may boil up a bit during the first moments.
  • Taste, and add brown sugar if desired.
  • Serve warm in small, demitasse cups.
  • Enjoy!
  • Note: This hot chocolate improves if made ahead and allowed to sit for a few hours. Rewarm before serving. David also likes to add a few flecks of fleur de sel, the very good sea salt from Brittany.
