How to Make Rich French Hot Chocolate
- Heat milk: In a medium saucepan, heat 2 cups of milk over medium heat until it reaches a gentle simmer. Do not boil.
- Melt chocolate: Remove from heat and add 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, 4 ounces semisweet chocolate, and stir gently until melted and smooth. Let stand for 5 minutes if needed to ensure complete melting.
- Prepare cocoa mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar until well combined.
- Combine and froth: Gradually whisk the cocoa mixture into the melted chocolate until fully incorporated. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and whisk vigorously for 30 seconds to create a slightly frothy texture.
- Serve immediately: Pour into mugs and enjoy your decadent French Hot Chocolate! You can garnish with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for an extra touch of elegance.
