Time 7m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup half-and-half
2 cups milk
1/2 cup strained fresh orange juice
2 slices orange zest, removed with a vegetable peeler (3-inch)
6 ounces fine-quality bittersweet chocolate, chopped fine
grated chocolate (to garnish) (optional)
1/3 cup Grand Marnier, to taste
whipped heavy cream, if desired (to garnish)

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, stir together the half-and-half, the milk, the orange juice, the zest, and a pinch of salt and bring the mixture just to a boil over moderate heat.
  • In a small heatproof bowl, whisk together the chopped chocolate and about 2/3 cup of the hot milk mixture until the mixture is smooth and whisk the chocolate mixture into the remaining milk mixture.

  • (For frothy hot chocolate, in a blender blend the hot chocolate in batches.) Divide the hot chocolate among heated mugs and garnish each drink with some of the whipped cream and grated chocolate.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality chocolate: Opt for dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% for a richer flavor and antioxidants.
  • Use fresh cream: Fresh cream adds a velvety texture and richness to the hot chocolate. Avoid using ultra-pasteurized cream, as it can result in a grainy texture.
  • Infuse milk with flavors: Elevate the flavor of your hot chocolate by infusing the milk with spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or chili powder, or using flavored extracts like vanilla or peppermint.
  • Sweeten to taste: Adjust the amount of sugar or sweetener according to your preference. Start with a small amount and add more as needed.
  • Garnish with flair: Enhance the presentation of your hot chocolate by garnishing it with whipped cream, grated chocolate, marshmallows, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
