Yield 8 servings (1 1/2 cups mix)

Number Of Ingredients 10

For the hot chocolate mix:
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup high-quality cocoa powder
3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
For the hot chocolate:
1 cup whole milk
Whipped cream, marshmallows, and cocoa powder (for serving)

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. So next time you're craving something sweet and warm, give one of these recipes a try. You won't be disappointed!
