Decadent Hot Chocolate

Servings: 
4

Recipe from the Inn at Little Washington, Washington D.C.

Ingredients: 

1 tea pot full of Hot Chocolate (see recipe below)
Tea cups
Whipped cream
Curls of white chocolate
Curls of milk chocolate

HOT CHOCOLATE
6 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
2 cups milk

Directions: 

Prepare hot chocolate. Place a dollop of whipped cream in the bottom of each tea cup. Place a curl of white chocolate and a curl of milk chocolate in the cup over or beside the dollop of whipped cream.

Pour prepared hot chocolate over the top of the ingredients. The whipped cream will rise to the top, and the chocolate curls will start melting. NOTE: Timing is important in making this hot chocolate, as you need to hand the person the cup right before you pour the hot chocolate into it.

Hot Chocolate

Place the milk and chopped chocolate (can also add sugar to taste) in a saucepan over medium heat and whisk periodically until the mixture reaches the boiling point and is foamy. Remove from heat and if more foam is desired, use a wire whisk or hand held blender to whip the hot chocolate.
