Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 ½ cups Milk of your choice
  • ½ cup Heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoon Powder sugar
  • ½ teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 230 g Dark chocolate

Instructions
 

  • This recipe comes together fairly quickly, so have all your ingredients measured out and ready.
  • Place a medium-sized saucepan on the stovetop on medium heat and pour in the milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and sugar if desired.
  • Heat the mixture until it’s slightly bubbling and add the chocolate in. We cut our chocolate into cubes, but you can feel free to chop it as well.
  • Mix the mixture constantly with a whisk until it’s creamy and smooth.
  • Remove the saucepan from the stovetop and pour the mixture into 2 large glasses or 3 small ones. Top with whipped cream or marshmallows and sprinkle cocoa powder on top for the best experience!

Notes

Use the best quality semisweet or dark chocolate bars for the best flavor. using the best quality dark chocolate is very important in this recipe. The chocolate is what gives this hot chocolate the flavor so it's very important to use high-quality dark chocolate.
Don't skip the heavy cream in this recipe! The heavy cream in this recipe makes this hot chocolate extra creamy and a true Parisian hot chocolate. The heavy cream gives this hot chocolate a silky smooth texture and makes this hot chocolate unbelievable.
Don't replace the milk with water! or don't use water in this recipe at all! Using water in hot chocolate can be okay when you make a hot chocolate mix packet.
