Indulge in the rich and creamy Paris Hot Chocolate, a decadent beverage made with dark chocolate, whole milk, and heavy cream. Topped with luscious whipped cream and a dusting of cocoa powder, this luxurious hot drink offers a perfectly smooth and velvety texture that’s ideal for cozy moments or a special treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Base

  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 6 oz dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Toppings

  • Whipped cream (for topping)
  • Cocoa powder (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Heat Milk and Cream: In a small saucepan, combine the whole milk and heavy cream. Warm over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture begins to steam but does not boil.
  2. Melt Chocolate: Add the dark chocolate to the heated milk and cream. Stir continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  3. Add Sweetener: Taste the hot chocolate and add sugar if desired. Stir well until the sugar dissolves completely into the mixture.
  4. Add Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor profile of the hot chocolate.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Pour the hot chocolate into individual mugs. Top each serving with a generous amount of whipped cream and dust lightly with cocoa powder for an elegant finish.

Notes

  • Use high-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher) for the best rich flavor.
  • Adjust sugar quantity based on your preferred sweetness level.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute whole milk and heavy cream with plant-based alternatives.
  • To make it extra indulgent, add a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of liqueur such as Grand Marnier or Baileys.
  • Serve immediately for the best hot chocolate experience.
