Ultimate Hot Chocolate

This is my take on the French-style hot chocolate. It's super rich and creamy and takes just 4 ingredients and 10 minutes to make.

Drinks

Lightly whip 60% of your double cream until you have very soft peaks and set aside in a cool place.

Roughly chop the chocolate.

Place the milk, icing sugar and remaining double cream in a sauce pan and gently warm over a medium heat. Add in the chocolate and reduce to a low heat. Stir for a couple of minutes until the chocolate has all melted and emulsified to create your hot chocolate. It should be a similar consistency to double cream and glossy.

Pour the hot chocolate into mugs and top each with a spoon of the whipped cream.

Serve and enjoy.
