Hot Chocolate Recipe

Thick rich hot chocolate is a commodity in seemingly short supply these days. With this in mind, I present to you this delicious recipe. This is the type of thick and rich hot chocolate that you typically would need to travel to Italy, Spain, France or Mexico to enjoy. Fortunately, with the help of this simple and elegant recipe, you can start enjoying thick, rich, life-altering, hot chocolate from the comfort of your own living room. Never drink mediocre hot chocolate ever again.

This hot chocolate goes great with these homemade marshmallows.

You will need:

- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 4 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 Cups of dark bakers chocolate (crushed and/or grated).
- 2 Tbsp high quality cocoa powder

Possible flavor additions:
- Mint extract
- Orange blossom water
- Caramel sauce

Grate and/or smash the chocolate into small bits.

Personally, I grate one bar and smash the other two by putting them inside two plastic bags and bashing them with a mallet.

I'm not sure if either technique is more beneficial, but I like to pretend that a mixture of both is ideal.

It's not called hot chocolate for nothin'.

As soon as it cools down slightly, serve it to all of your friends and family.

The richness of this hot chocolate recipe helps weed out the weak from the strong. You'll see.
