Superb Hot Chocolate

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 4.

Ingredients

6 ounces semisweet chocolate bits
1 pint heavy cream
Pinch cinnamon
Whipped cream flavored with vanilla

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Melt chocolate bits in a double boiler over hot water and stir in the cream. Heat just to boiling point, stirring constantly. Add the cinnamon and serve in 8-ounce chocolate cups topped with flavored whipped cream.

    Step 2

    For mint flavored chocolate, place a mint patty in the bottom of each cup before pouring in the hot chocolate.

    Step 3

    For a less rich drink, use half milk and half cream, or plain whole milk in place of the heavy cream.

    Step 4

    To vary the drink and make it slightly alcoholic, use 1 to 2 dashes Grand Marnier instead of cinnamon.
