World-Beating Hot Chocolate Recipe

This hot chocolate recipe is indulgent, creamy, and rich — the perfect cozy treat for chilly days. By using high-quality chocolate and adding a few extra ingredients, this version will definitely beat any store-bought mix. Here’s how to make it:


Ingredients (Serves 2):

  • 2 cups whole milk (for extra creaminess, you can also use a mix of milk and heavy cream)
  • 4 oz (about 1/2 cup) good-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher), finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp sugar (adjust based on sweetness preference)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt (to enhance the flavor of the chocolate)
  • Whipped cream (for topping)
  • Shaved chocolate or cocoa powder (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Heat the Milk:
    In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat. Stir occasionally to ensure it doesn’t scorch. Heat it until it's just about to simmer (you'll see small bubbles forming around the edges but it shouldn't boil).

  2. Melt the Chocolate:
    Once the milk is heated, remove it from the heat and add the chopped dark chocolate to the saucepan. Stir until the chocolate has completely melted and the mixture is smooth and silky.

  3. Sweeten and Flavor:
    Stir in the sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Continue stirring until the sugar is dissolved and the chocolate is fully combined with the milk.

  4. Serve:
    Pour the hot chocolate into mugs. Top with a generous amount of whipped cream, and if desired, sprinkle with shaved chocolate or cocoa powder for extra richness.

  5. Optional Add-ins:

    • For a richer, more decadent flavor, add a tablespoon of Nutella or peanut butter to the milk before melting the chocolate.
    • You can also spice it up by adding a pinch of cinnamon, chili powder, or even a drop of peppermint extract for a holiday twist.

Tips for the Best Hot Chocolate:

  • Use High-Quality Chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better your hot chocolate will taste. Aim for at least 70% dark chocolate for a rich, intense flavor.
  • Creamy Texture: If you want a more luxurious texture, you can swap part of the milk for heavy cream. This makes the drink ultra-creamy and velvety.
  • Adjust Sweetness: The amount of sugar you use depends on the chocolate’s bitterness. If you’re using milk chocolate, you’ll likely need less sugar.
  • Garnishes: Add some mini marshmallows, a cinnamon stick, or chocolate shavings to make it even more decadent.

This hot chocolate recipe will give you a rich, comforting drink that is hard to beat! Would you like any variations, such as spiked hot chocolate or iced versions for warmer weather?
