Time 11m

Number Of Ingredients 12

Chocolate Curls
Chocolate Hearts
1 cup dark or semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 and 1/2 cups whole milk
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup heavy cream, chilled
1/3 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips, melted

Steps:

  • In a medium mixing bowl, using a hand mixer, whip the chilled cream, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla on high speed until it reaches stiff peaks, about 2-3 minutes. Cover the bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Pour the melted chocolate into a small plate and dip or roll the rim of your mug. Set aside.
  • In a heat safe bowl, microwave the heavy whipping cream and chocolate chips together in 30 second intervals, until the cream is steaming hot. This takes me about 1 minute, but it may be longer for you, so stir after each interval to check if the chocolate is melted enough.
  • Stir until the mixture comes together to form a thick and silky ganache. Set aside.
  • Add the milk, cocoa and vanilla to a medium saucepan and heat over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the cocoa has dissolved.
  • Pour in the ganache and continue to stir until the mixture is simmering. Do not boil.
  • Pour hot chocolate into mugs. Top with the chocolate whipped cream, a drizzle of melted chocolate, chocolate curls and a chocolate heart candy, if desired. Serve and enjoy!

If necessary, reheat the liquid over medium-low heat, stirring.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better your hot chocolate will be. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 50%.
  • Use whole milk or cream. Whole milk or cream will give your hot chocolate a richer flavor and texture. If you are using skim milk, you may want to add a little bit of butter or oil to help thicken it up.
  • Sweeten to taste. Some people like their hot chocolate very sweet, while others prefer it less sweet. Add sugar or honey to taste.
  • Add flavorings. You can add a variety of flavorings to your hot chocolate, such as vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, or chili powder. Get creative and experiment to find your favorite flavor combinations.
  • Top with whipped cream or marshmallows. Whipped cream or marshmallows are a classic topping for hot chocolate. They add a touch of sweetness and creaminess.

Hot chocolate is a delicious and comforting drink that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is perfect for a cold winter day or a cozy night in. With so many different recipes to choose from, there is sure to be a hot chocolate recipe that everyone will love. So grab a mug and enjoy!
