I added raspberry whipped cream, because I simply cannot go through February without combining raspberry and chocolate…Īnd don’t forget about that most important chocolate. How about toppings like marshmallows? Whipped cream? Maybe even both (like me!). Infuse the hot chocolate with spices like cinnamon? or cardamom? or cayenne pepper or ancho chili powder even! Also make sure the bittersweet chocolate has no dairy in it as well. Mr K actually prefers that additional flavor profile.

I have made this with almond milk and it gives the hot chocolate a delightful nuttier taste. Or to make Dairy Free or Vegan Parisian Hot Chocolate – just use almond milk instead of regular milk. The base for Le Chocalat Chaud can be modified to your taste. Another shortcut would be to add cornstarch (cornflour) to speed up the thickening process – a common technique used for many hot chocolates ( even the one I previously shared here), but then it’s just not Parisian hot chocolate. You could take shortcuts like increasing the heat, but then you’d risk burning the milk or the chocolate, and that’s no good, of course. Slow and low heat will ensure a smooth and thick hot chocolate. But as with most things this magnificent, this recipe takes a little bit of time. I don’t add any sugar to this, because I love the taste of bittersweet chocolate, plus the addition of salt (no table salt please!), reduces any bitterness and makes the flavors pop even more.Īs a life-long chocoholic, I can safely say that all the hot chocolates out there that I’ve tried pale in comparison to this one. You only need 3 ingredients to make this Parisian Hot Chocolate, but it’s everything you would dream a hot chocolate to be – thick, luscious, decadent with a deep chocolate flavor and utterly glorious! There’s not a hot chocolate out there that’s comparable to this in my humble opinion, and once you’ve had a sip of this dark, rich liquid magic, you won’t be seeking out any other hot chocolate either. But I call it, the best freaking hot chocolate ever! It’s like a hot, whipped, chocolate latte!Ĭoffee topped with Whipped Chocolate!! So good.A truly decadent hot chocolate that’s served in cafes in Paris, this is also known as Le Chocolat Chaud.

We gathered inspiration for this drink from our whipped coffee! Check out that post, here!.If you have milk or semi-sweet chocolate, your drink will be much sweeter. According to this article, they’re also pretty interchangeable. Semi-sweet are both forms of dark chocolate and both have 70% content cocoa. More information on the different types of vanilla is here! You can substitute one teaspoon of paste for one teaspoon liquid extract. If you can’t find vanilla paste, then use regular vanilla extract. It’s made out of the remnants of a vanilla pod and vanilla extract. What’s vanilla paste?! Vanilla paste has more of a maple syrup consistency, and is loaded with real vanilla flecks.Though I haven’t used that particular paste, I do save that brand’s vanilla for my fancier recipes, especially when I want to highlight the exceptional vanilla flavor.Ī few easy notes on our Hot Chocolate Recipe… Meg and I have been on a vanilla bean paste kick, ever since we purchased ours at Trader Joes!! It’s got a lovely texture and it really lends a subtle hint of vanilla to the hot chocolate.

This hot chocolate is everything hot chocolate should be: creamy, chocolatey, thick, and topped with whipped chocolate cream. We were partly inspired by our whipped coffee, since we wanted a thick and creamy drink for cold nights. However, this year I ventured out of my cocoa comfort zone (thanks, Covid!) and Meg and I created this insanely delicious hot chocolate recipe. I’m super lazy when it comes to my hot chocolate – typically a packet of powder will do. This hot chocolate recipe has two types of chocolate and is then topped with whipped cream.
