Yield Makes about 4 1/2 cups, serving 4 to 6.

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup cold water
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup half-and-half
2 1/2 cups milk
1/3 cup crème de menthe, or to taste
2 tablespoons crème de cacao, or to taste
Whipped cream and shaved bittersweet chocolate for garnish

Steps:

  • In a heavy saucepan, combine the cocoa powder, the sugar, the water, the vanilla, and a pinch of salt and heat the mixture over low heat, whisking, until the cocoa powder is dissolved and the mixture is a smooth paste. Gradually add the half-and-half and the milk, both scalded, and simmer the hot chocolate, whisking, for 2 minutes. Stir in the crème de menthe and the crème de cacao. (For a frothy result, in a blender blend the hot chocolate in batches.) Divide the chocolate among mugs and top it with the whipped cream and the chocolate.

Overall, I thought this hot chocolate was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I tried this recipe, but it was a complete disaster. The hot chocolate was watery and flavorless.

This hot chocolate was a bit too minty for my taste.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my hot chocolate didn't turn out as thick as I expected. Not sure what went wrong.

This hot chocolate is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still pretty good.

I've made this hot chocolate a few times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of chocolate and mint is perfect, and the addition of the crème de menthe really takes it over the top. It's the perfect drink for a cold winter night.

This grasshopper hot chocolate was a hit at my last party! It's so rich and creamy, with just the right amount of mint flavor. I highly recommend it!
