French Hot Chocolate

• 7.5oz good quality semi-sweet chocolate

• 2 cups of whole milk

• ½ cup cream

• ½ teaspoon vanilla

• 1 tbsp castor sugar

If you love decadent rich drinks this is the one for you. This may be the smoothest, creamiest hot chocolate I've ever had and it's so simple to make. If you find that it’s a little too rich just add an extra cup of milk to mellow it out and you have the perfect holiday drink to warm you up this holiday season.

Lets begin with cutting up your bar of chocolate

Add it to a pot on medium low heat, make sure to constantly stir the chocolate so that the bottom doesn't burn. Then you are going to add ½ cup of cream and stir until combined. Add the milk a little at a time until incorporated, wait a few minutes until the mixture is hot but not boiling and add your vanilla and sugar. Stir until everything is incorporated and the mixture starts to simmer. Take off the heat and pour into a cup, garnish with whipped cream and marshmallows. Enjoy!
