HOT CHOCOLATE

 

ngredients
chocolate 4oz
low fat milk 2 cups cocoa 2tbsp
superfine sugar 4tbsp
heavy cream well chilled 2/3 cup

Method
Grate the chocolate. Heat the milk, cocoa and sugar in a pan. Remove from
heat add the grated chocolate and whisk the mixture at high speed for at
least 2 minutes. Beat the cream to firm peaks. When the hot chocolate is
very foamy serve it immediately in large mugs topped with 2 tablespoons of
the whipped cream. Sprinkle a little bit of cocoa over it.

TIPS
Always use the best quality chocolate that you can afford. Stay away from
powder and
syrup. Although these can be used if you are desperate, you will definitely
get better results if
you use the 'real stuff'. Milk, dark or white chocolate.
2.Use approximately 30g of chocolate per person, with an equal amount of
cream
3.Be patient when melting your chocolate. Do this slowly over low-medium
heat using a
double boiler. Make sure you don't burn the chocolate. Avoid using microwave
to melt your chocolate, this causes the chocolate to melt at different rates
and you are more likely to burn your chocolate using this method. Add the
cream once the chocolate is completely melted.
4.Add equal quantities of milk and water to the chocolate-cream mix and warm
to a suitable
temperature without boiling.
