Home made hot chocolate is comfort food at its best, especially in the winter time. Although, I have been known to serve this up around a campfire on the 4th of July and it tasted just fine. This is an old Gourmet recipe. Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder |
1/3 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1/2 cup cold water |
2 1/4 cups milk, scalded |
3/4 cup half-and-half cream, scalded |
1/2 cup baileys original irish cream, to taste |
whipped cream |
shaved bittersweet chocolate (to garnish) |
Directions:
1. In a large heavy saucepan combine the cocoa powder, sugar, vanilla, water and a dash of salt.
2. Heat mixture over low heat, whisking, until the cocoa powder is dissolved and the mixture is a smooth paste.
3. Gradually add the milk and half&half and simmer whisking for 2 minutes.
4. Stir in Baileys.
5. Divide hot chocolate into warmed mugs and top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
