This would be nothing like the hot chocolate of the past. As the waiter poured the steaming beverage into each of our mugs, I knew I was in for a treat. Inside the tea pot was the creamiest, richest hot chocolate that I had ever tasted in my life. We were soon greeted with a ceramic tea pot and sweet little bowl of homemade whipped cream. The waiter asked if it was for one or for two. We decided to pop into a little café and we ordered hot chocolate. It was a cold, dreary night and I was walking with Britt from the Eiffel Tower back to our hotel.
But I really fell in love with hot chocolate on my first trip to Paris in 1998. As a kid, I was always happy to enjoy a warm mug of cocoa topped with a swirl of whipped cream.
It’s simple, thick, rich and super decadent - totally knocks those store-bought packages out of the park! Sip and savour the best hot chocolate you’ll ever have, ladies and gents.I've always been a big fan of hot chocolate. This hot chocolate is a real treat after a long day out in the cold. Other suggestions you could try as a hot chocolate topping are cinnamon sticks, marshmallow fluff (I have to try this), or a few scoops of ice cream for a delicious ice cream float! And the drizzle of chocolate sauce on top is an added bonus! Trust me, there’s nothing better than a bunch of gooey marshmallows that have been marinating in a mug of hot chocolate. Pile on a handful of those adorable miniature marshmallows and let it melt and blend with the hot chocolate. So good!Īnd I absolutely LOVE hot chocolate topped with mini marshmallows. I love topping my hot chocolate with a generous swirl of sweet whipped cream and maybe some chocolate curls! You can either swirl the whipped cream and chocolate curls into the hot chocolate or you can drink the liquid gold, then enjoy spoonfuls of whipped cream at the end. I mean this hot chocolate is one million percent enjoyable without any topping, but I just love to fancy things up a bit!Īhh the debate older than time itself: whipped cream or marshmallows, which is the better hot chocolate topping? My opinion? Both! Not only does the heavy cream thicken up the hot chocolate, it also makes it extra creamy! So please don’t substitute or leave it out, trust me you’ll love it.Įvery perfect hot chocolate needs the perfect topping (with an exception of my Eggnog White Hot Chocolate). I like to use whole milk because it’s the only dairy milk I can keep down, but you can substitute for soy, 2%, almond or any other type of dairy or non-dairy milk you prefer.Ī lot of recipes use cornstarch to thicken up their hot chocolate, but I prefer to use heavy cream to achieve a nice thick hot chocolate. When using chopped chocolate the hot chocolate will be completely smooth and rich all throughout. I always end up with grains of chocolate in my hot chocolate which I don’t like. I like using chopped bar chocolate instead of chocolate chips because the chocolate chips don’t melt as smoothly, at least not with my experience. The dark chocolate gives a deeper and richer flavour while the milk chocolate adds some sweetness.
Let’s start with the star of the show: chocolate. I like to use both milk chocolate and dark chocolate in my hot chocolate recipes. That being said, this right here is the best hot chocolate I’ve ever had! It’s perfectly rich, creamy, chocolatey, steamy and can be decked out with a ton of fancy toppings for the ultimate hot chocolate! I’ve tried lots of hot chocolate from different establishments, I’ve even made my own hot chocolate from others recipes. We’re kicking off the New Year with the best hot chocolate recipe ever! Even though Christmas has passed, it’s still Winter which means it’s still acceptable to drink tons of delicious hot chocolate to keep warm. Happy New Year everyone! Hope you all enjoyed your holiday, and for those of you that re-created some of my recipes, I hope they were a hit! It’s perfect drink to sip on during those cold winter nights! Best Ever Hot Chocolate! This super chocolatey hot chocolate is thick, rich and creamy.
