Time 2h20m

Yield 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 cups whole milk
2 cups whipping cream or 2 cups heavy cream
2 vanilla beans (about 4-6 inches long)
14 ounces bittersweet chocolate or 14 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
sugar (optional)
whipped cream

Steps:

  • In a heavy large saucepan, heat the milk and cream over medium heat until hot, but not boiling. Remove from heat. Using the tip of a paring knife, slit the vanilla beans down the center. Using the side of the knife, scrape the seeds. Place seeds and vanilla pods into the hot milk mixture. Cover and chill. Allow the vanilla pods to infuse their flavor into the milk for at least 2 hours. Or, transfer mixture to a container with a tight-fitting lid and chill in the refrigerator overnight. Remove the vanilla pods and using two fingers press the milk out of the bean to extract all the seeds; discard.
  • When ready to make the hot chocolate, heat the milk mixture over medium heat until hot, but not boiling. Add the chocolate. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and chocolate is melted. Add sugar to sweeten, if you like. Top with whipped cream. Makes 15 servings (about 4 ounces each).
