Ingredients
Dark chocolate: One of the key elements that sets French hot chocolate apart is the quality of chocolate used. Dark or bitter-sweet chocolate like 70% cacao gives that intense and rich flavor. You can use milk chocolate if you’re not a big fan of dark chocolate.
Whole milk: Using whole milk gives the best results but any alternative milk works just fine.
Heavy cream: Heavy cream adds extra creaminess to hot chocolate.
Brown Sugar: Brown sugar balances the bitterness of chocolate.
Vanilla extract: Enhances the flavor of chocolate.
Optional toppings: Whipped cream, marshmallows, and a sprinkle of Dutch cocoa powder can take French hot chocolate to the next level.
