Superb Hot Chocolate
Recipe information
Yield
Serves 4.
Ingredients
6 ounces semisweet chocolate bits
1 pint heavy cream
Pinch cinnamon
Whipped cream flavored with vanilla
Preparation
Step 1
Melt chocolate bits in a double boiler over hot water and stir in the cream. Heat just to boiling point, stirring constantly. Add the cinnamon and serve in 8-ounce chocolate cups topped with flavored whipped cream.
Step 2
For mint flavored chocolate, place a mint patty in the bottom of each cup before pouring in the hot chocolate.
Step 3
For a less rich drink, use half milk and half cream, or plain whole milk in place of the heavy cream.
Step 4
To vary the drink and make it slightly alcoholic, use 1 to 2 dashes Grand Marnier instead of cinnamon.
