TO DIE FOR HOT CHOCOLATE

This is probably the richest cup of hot chocolate that I have ever had! We made it with milk and used a French vanilla flavor creamer. Perfect for a sleigh ride or a cuddle by the fire. (Would make a great gift, too!)

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 6

7 c instant non-fat dry milk powder
1 lb confectioners' sugar
2 c unsweetened cocoa powder (sifted)
2 c powdered non-dairy creamer (i.e. french vanilla, hazelnut, etc)
2 c mini marshmallows (i usually use more)
1 c mini chocolate chips (i use 1/2 c each semi-sweet and white chips)

Steps:

  • 1. Stir together all ingredients in a a LARGE bowl (preferably one with a lid for freshness). I use a tupperware layer cake saver as my bowl and the bottom as my lid. It takes some time to really get all this incorporated well, but make sure you do!
  • 2. For each individual serving put 1/3 cup mix in a large (minimum 8 oz, but more along a 10 oz) coffee cup, add mix before adding either water or milk, heat to desired temperature and stir until chips melt, add extra marshmallows on top or whipped cream. We prefer to use milk because it is richer and creamer.
  • 3. This is great as a gift for friends or neighbors in decorative tins or glass jars for Christmas. Be sure to include on your gift tag how much is needed per serving. ENJOY! If you put this in an airtight container it will last approximately 1 yr.

TO-DIE-FOR HOT CHOCOLATE

I worked at a lovely French cafe and have done my best to duplicate the fabulous hot chocolate there! Feel free to fool around and add more chocolate or milk as your tastebuds require! You can use the general recipe and add spices (cloves and cinnamon are great) as well as using other types of alcohol - Cointreau, vodka and whiskey are popular.

Time 10m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 cup 50-55% dark chocolate (chunks or chocolate pieces)
3/4 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon instant coffee or 1 teaspoon ground coffee (work well)
whipped cream, to taste
1 1/2 fluid ounces dark rum

Steps:

  • Heat milk on the stove at the lowest level until small bubbles appear.
  • While the milk is heating, add approximately 1/8 cup of boiling water to the chocolate; stir so that the chocolate becomes thick like a fudge sauce.
  • Once the milk is hot enough, add the chocolate to the milk and stir constantly for 5-10 minutes until it changes from a lighter brown to a dark brown colour.
  • Remove from heat.
  • To serve, place one spoonful of instant coffee in the cup.
  • Add one shot of rum and stir to dissolve coffee granules.
  • Add the hot chocolate and top with whipped cream (homemade vanilla cream is best!) and chocolate shavings.

HOT COCOA TO DIE FOR



Hot Cocoa to die for image

It's Christmas in July!!! This is the ONLY way I make cocoa. It's rich, decadent and a special treat...winter OR summer (in the air conditioning of course).

Provided by Torrey Moseley @Torrey

Categories     Hot Drinks

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 to 7 - heaping tablespoons of hot cocoa mix of your choice
1/4 to 1/2 cup(s) heavy cream
- sprinkling or two of cinnamon
- sprinkling of cayenne pepper
- sprinkling of finely ground black pepper
- mini marshmallows or whipped cream to garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • In desired drinking mug, combine all ingredients and stir until smooth. Should have consistency slightly runnier than cake frosting.
  • Add hot water...whisk until frothy. I know adding the peppers sounds weird...but you can't tell it's specifically in there. It just adds depth and a little "bite".
  • Can top it off with mini marshies or whipped cream...but seriously, it doesn't need it.
