French Hot Chocolate
Servings 3 small coffee cups
This French hot chocolate is thick, rich, and deeply chocolaty — with a touch of vanilla and a hint of salt. It’s easy to make traditionally — or vegan and paleo.
Ingredients
For the hot chocolate:
- 1 cup (236 ml) whole milk or cashew milk for vegan/paleo
- 1/3 cup (78 ml) heavy cream or coconut cream for vegan/paleo
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
- pinch of salt
- 1 cup (170 grams) semi-sweet chocolate somewhat finely chopped, use vegan/paleo alternatives if needed
For the topping:
- whipped cream + chocolate shavings coconut cream for paleo/vegan
Instructions
- In a small pot over medium heat, heat the milk, cream, vanilla extract and salt until very hot and steamy. When you see bubbles, turn the heat to low and stir in the chocolate, stirring occasionally, until melted.1 cup (236 ml) whole milk, 1/3 cup (78 ml) heavy cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, pinch of salt, 1 cup (170 grams) semi-sweet chocolate
