This French Hot Chocolate Recipe uses real chocolate bars for a decadent and thick drinkable chocolate dessert.
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Servings 1 serving

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz. chocolate any high quality
  • 1/2 cup cream
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1 tbsp caster sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract and/or 1 dollop of vanilla bean paste
  • 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 tbsp. chocolate syrup

Instructions
 

  • Break your chocolate into small pieces.
  • In a small stockpot, bring your chocolate, cream, milk, sugar, and vanilla to medium heat.
  • Whisk every minute or so and allow the chocolate to melt and the ingredients to blend.
  • Meanwhile, warm your mugs by filling them with boiling water. Pour the water out as soon as you are ready to pour the hot chocolate in.
  • Once the ingredients are blended and bubbles begin to appear on the side, pour into a mug to serve.

How to Serve:

  • Pile the top of your mug with marshmallows.
  • Using a creme brulee torch, gently brown the top of the marshmallows. Be gentle treating your marshmallows and torch as you would at a campfire.
  • Last drizzle with chocolate syrup. Enjoy!

To Store:

  • Allow your hot chocolate to cool to room temperature. Then place in a mason jar and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
