Really Delicious Hot Chocolate
We all know that not all hot chocolate is created equal. Some are much better than others, and although that powdered stuff will do in a pinch, real hot chocolate is SO much better. Palace Cafe's chef Ben Thibodeaux shared with us his recipe for what some have told us is the best hot chocolate they've ever tasted. Try it and let us know!
Serves 4
4 cups whole milk
1.5 cups unsweetened high quality cocoa powder
1.5 – 2 cups vanilla sugar*
1 T high quality cinnamon
1 t kosher salt
In a medium sauce pan combine all ingredients except the cocoa powder. Heat over medium heat until the milk warms, taking care not to scald the milk. Slowly add the cocoa powder and whisk constantly until it is completely incorporated.
Pour into mugs and serve with marshmallows.
*Vanilla Sugar –Vanilla sugar is extremely easy to make and adds a great dimension to standard sugar. Simply add one scraped vanilla pod to a container of sugar and let sit for a few days. The pod can remain in the sugar indefinitely, and new sugar can be added to the container.
