HOT CHOCOLATE...

Because of the weather outside (preparing itself for snow) and the need to cocoon that comes with it, I prepared my self some old fashioned home made hot chocolate. Enjoying it in my pyjamas, I thought of sharing the recipe with you. So here goes:

INGREDIENTS:
2 ounces of chocolate powder (+ 2 squares of Toblerone if wanted)
1/3 cup sugar (if the chocolate powder is not already sweetened)
4 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Whipped cream (for those who want a richer taste and texture)
Marshmallows (for those who like it)

PREPARATION:
Place chocolate, sugar and milk in a saucepan over medium-low heat.
Heat, stirring, until chocolate melts (include the 2 squares of Toblerone at this stage) and mixture is well blended.
Add vanilla and the whipped cream; pour hot chocolate into cups. Put marshmallow on top.
This hot chocolate recipe serves 4.

Of course my recipe does not rival with the famous hot chocolate from the “Barbare” in Lausanne where the chocolate texture is so sick that the spoon stands on its own in the cup (and you actually have to eat the hot chocolate with the spoon rather than drinking it), but I can guarantee my recipe is excellent!

  2. Parece-me que a tua receita seja excepcional, mas deve ser à volta do milhão de calorias só por cheirar não?

  3. Experimentem juro que não é de se arrenpender. É provar e pedir (chorar) por mais...é claro, que a nível de calorias é melhor não desenvolver uma obsessão, mas que delícia quando o frio aperta...a única coisa que me falta para "realmente" saborear este chocolate quente é um belo fogo numa chaminé!
