Steps:
- Make the hot chocolate mix:
- Combine powdered sugar, cocoa powder, chocolate, cornstarch, and sea salt in a food processor. Scrape in vanilla seeds; discard pod. Blend until mixture is smooth and powdery, about 1 minute.
- Make the hot chocolate:
- Bring milk to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in 3 Tbsp. hot chocolate mix and cook, whisking occasionally, until mixture returns to a simmer and hot chocolate mix is dissolved and thickens slightly, 1-2 minutes.
- Transfer hot chocolate to a mug. Top with whipped cream and marshmallows and dust with cocoa powder.
- Do Ahead
- Hot chocolate mix can be made 2 months ahead. Store in an airtight container at room temperature, or freeze up to 3 months.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly impact the flavor of your hot chocolate. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Don't overheat the milk: Overheating the milk will cause it to scorch and give your hot chocolate a burnt flavor. Heat the milk until it is just simmering, then remove it from the heat.
- Add spices and flavorings: Spices and flavorings can add a delicious depth of flavor to your hot chocolate. Try adding a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger, or a splash of vanilla extract or peppermint extract.
- Top with whipped cream and marshmallows: Whipped cream and marshmallows are classic hot chocolate toppings that add a touch of sweetness and creaminess. You can also get creative with your toppings and try things like grated chocolate, crushed candy canes, or even a dollop of ice cream.
Conclusion:
Gourmet hot chocolate is a delicious and comforting treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make your own gourmet hot chocolate at home.
