    Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I just searched and your recipe came up. We just made it and turned out fantastic, so thick, chocolaty, and creamy. I organic whole milk, leftover from holiday cooking, and used 82% Ghirardelli chocolate bar,, a 1/2 teaspoon or natural maple syrup, and dark cacao powder, with a few drops of peppermint. It was amazing. Thank you.

    Just made this with coconut milk and Ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate. Even my dad, who isn't a fan of coconut milk loved it!! Its super thick and decadent, but easy on the tummy, which always was an issue for me when I would have the Swiss Miss version that I grew up with. I haven't had a good cup of hot chocolate/cocoa in years, and now that I found a quick, healthy recipe, I will definitely be making this more from now on!! thank you so much, Lisa!!

  • @ladyflimflam
    @ladyflimflam 4 роки тому +18

    Its better to add the cocoa powder to the saucepan with just enough milk to create a paste. Then whisk in the rest of the milk, turn on the burner and procede. Cocoa powder is hydrophobic, that’s why it clumps in liquid and is difficult to incorporate, even with a whisk. Creating a paste and thinning that with the rest of your liquid overcomes that property. Cinnamon is also hydrophobic and should be added with the cocoa powder if using.

      So what did you expect?

    I always add a bit of extract to my hot chocolate -- usually vanilla and almond, or orange, or even coconut. Delish.

    before I became lactose intolerant, I used to melt 10 gr of Lindtt 90% or 99% cocoa in a cup of simmering milk and add a teaspoon of that false granulated stevia. I remember it was really good.

    Mmmm, this brings back fond memories: when we arrived in France in '92, there was a little bar in Langeais, run by two sisters who had grown up working there with their father. It was like going back in a time capsule, sitting in this dark-paneled room watching the two white-haired, aproned mamies serve their clients. In a copper pan, they melted baker's chocolate in the milk individually for each cup, the best I've ever had in a café. A few years later they retired, and it's now part of a superette. * sigh *
    I'll have to have a cup when it gets cold, with my 70% Ecuador chocolate from Lidl. Thanks, and happy, safe holidays to you.

    Well, it seems so similar to MY (and all Italy) recipe. You just want to add one important ingredient that is starch. It helps the chocolate becoming smooth and velvety. That's the classic italian hot chocolate. 🥰🥰
