Kimberly Killebrew
Parisian hot chocolate is luxuriously thick, smooth, creamy and flavorful.  It's like drinking hot molten chocolate and simply no other hot chocolate can compare!

Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 6 ounces top quality dark or bittersweet chocolate (at least 70%)) , chopped finely
  • 1-2 tablespoons brown sugar (optional and according to taste)
  • tiny pinch of sea salt
  • whipped cream for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

  • In a medium saucepan, heat the milk until it's hot and bubbles appear.  Add salt and the finely chopped dark chocolate and whisk until dissolved and smooth.  Bring the hot chocolate to a very low simmer, whisking continuously, and simmer for about 3 minutes (this will thicken it).  Stir in the brown sugar if desired and whisk until smooth.  Pour into cups and serve with a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
  • Note:  For an even thicker result, make the hot chocolate ahead of time, let it cool and then reheat when ready to serve.
