Parisian Hot Chocolate
Milk and chocolate are all you need for this rich hot chocolate like the kind served at cafes in Italy and France. Top with a splash of peppermint Schnapps and/or marshmallows and a sprinkle of peppermints. (Photo: Andria Dilling)
2 cups whole milk
5 ounces good, bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
Peppermint Schnapps (optional)
Jumbo or mini marshmallows
Crushed candy canes or peppermint candies
Heat the milk in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. When the milk is warm, remove it from the heat and whisk in the chocolate, stirring until it is melted. Return to the heat and cook at a very low boil for about 2 to 3 minutes, whisking constantly. Serve warm in demitasse cups or small mugs with a splash of peppermint Schnapps (optional), and/or topped with marshmallows and a sprinkle of peppermints.
