Drinking Chocolate
A perfect cup of drinking chocolate is one of the purest delights of the winter season! This hot chocolate recipe is thick, rich, and indulgent.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, cut in small pieces
- 2 cups whole milk
- pinch salt
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a small, heavy bottomed saucepan, combine the chocolate, milk, and salt.
- Heat gently over low/medium heat for a few minutes, whisking regularly, until the chocolate is completely melted. It should be steaming, but don't let it come to a simmer. (Cooking the hot chocolate a little lower and slower helps the chocolate to fully melt rather than remain speckle-y in the milk.)
- Off the heat, add the vanilla extract and stir.
- Serve immediately in small cups, topped with whipped cream, if you like.
