Cómo preparar Creamy Thick Hot Chocolate
- Chop 6 ounces of high-quality dark chocolate into small pieces and melt it gently over a double boiler or in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Stir occasionally until smooth.
- In a separate saucepan, heat 1 cup heavy cream and ¾ cup whole milk over medium heat. Heat until small bubbles form around the edges (scalding point), but do not boil.
- Gradually whisk half of the hot cream mixture into the melted chocolate until smooth and combined. Then, pour the chocolate mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture.
- In a small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup whole milk, 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch until a smooth paste forms.
- Pour the cocoa paste into the saucepan with the chocolate mixture. Whisk constantly over low heat until the mixture comes to a gentle boil and thickens to your desired consistency (about 1-2 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional). Beat briskly with a whisk or hand mixer until the hot chocolate becomes slightly foamy.
- Pour into mugs and serve immediately, topped with whipped cream (optional).
