Homemade Hot Chocolate
Adapted from Elise Bauer
Ingredients:
3 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
8 ounces chocolate, preferably dark
3 teaspoons maple syrup or natural sweetener of choice
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
Directions:
1) Chop the chocolate very finely.
2) In a medium saucepan, bring the milk and cream to a low simmer over medium heat, whisking occasionally.
3) Add the chocolate, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt. Whisk vigorously until all of the chocolate has melted. Cook for an additional 4 minutes, whisking constantly.
4) Serve with maple whipped cream (recipe follows) if desired.
Serves 4 generously
.
Maple Whipped Cream
Ingredients:
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
2 teaspoons maple syrup (more if you like your whipped cream very sweet)
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
Place all ingredients in a large bowl and beat until stiff.
Notes: maple syrup was used for the added sweetener and bittersweet chocolate chips for the chocolate. Also added a bit of cream to the milk. Perhaps next time will use only milk as it was so rich.
Interesting. I never would have thought to combine maple with hot chocolate.
This will be great on a cold day, and the maple sounds awesome to add to it..speaking of maple, just bought a maple/praline syrup for pancakes and waffles...sooooo good!
Sounds so delicious! Hope my husband brings some maple syrup home with him....from the north! I would like to try it during the holidays...perhaps New Years Day. Our children and grandchildren come for the last feast of the season. We all ( not Papa) wear our jammies and just lay around watching Christmas Vacation and playing games. Good Times!!!
