Homemade French Hot Chocolate
French Hot Chocolate is thick, creamy, and decadent. It's easy to make and turns out exactly like the one you'd drink in a fancy Parisian café.
Ingredients
- 1 and 1/2 cups (375 ml) whole milk
- 1/2 (125 ml) heavy cream
- 2 teaspoon white granulated sugar (or to taste)
- 8 oz (225 g) high-quality 70% chocolate (no chocolate chips)
Instructions
- Add the milk, cream, and sugar to a small saucepan over low heat. Heat until hot, stirring constantly but do not allow the mixture to boil.
- Add the chocolate to the mixture and mix until completely blended and smooth. Bring to a gentle simmer and keep simmering for about 1 minute, then turn off the heat and serve. For a thicker drink, simmer for 1 more minute. If it gets too thick, add a splash of room temperature milk and mix over low heat until combined.
Notes
Storing Instructions: Store any leftover hot chocolate covered in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. Reheat on the stovetop on low heat until hot again, making sure to stir constantly.
