French Hot Chocolate | The Best Hot Chocolate Recipe You Must Try at Home

French hot chocolate, known as "chocolat chaud," is a rich and indulgent beverage that goes beyond the typical hot cocoa. It is made by melting high-quality dark chocolate in milk, resulting in a velvety and decadent drink. Often, it includes a touch of sugar and sometimes a splash of cream for added creaminess. Served in small, demitasse-sized cups, French hot chocolate is a luxurious treat that embodies the essence of French culinary refinement and appreciation for quality ingredients.

Looks like the hot chocolate we had on a rainy day in Paris...bought dark chocolate chunks from the local candy shop, now for the big test!

Not much of a sweettooth but it was a delight to have watched the video from start to finish. It got me drooling heavily when chocolates went in and tempting teracotta color took effect. Definitely gonna try this! Looks super easy and I like how you relied on simple ingredients. I like my beverages unfancy and plain but sumptuous. Thank you for sharing.

After reviewing almost 15-20 French hot chocolate videos I decided to go with this for its simplicity, and it was my best

I need to take a nap or something now 😂

Is it okay with milk chocolate instead of dark?
Update 👇👇👇(January 2024)….

Hey I’ll answer my own question now that I’ve made it 😂😂😂 ….. honestly I prefer the dark instead of the milk surprisingly. The milk was WAY too much sugar. I definitely recommend dark chocolate that says 50% less sugar in the package and add whipped cream on top👌

Thats looks so good!❤ However it is so anoying to read the measurnets then suddenly they go to metric😮.

[kellydavis]

It sure looks exquisite but is it possible to make a dairy-free option without compromising the flavor or texture? My tummy simply wouldn’t handle this dairy delicacy 😩

[j.m.]

I'm going to be trying this recipe later, but why in the video do the measurements switch from imperial to metric 😭
For anyone else that was confused, Google says that 150 g is roughly 2/3 cup

[Rebecca-efjo]

I want to know calories. I doubt it’s worth drinking that many calories.

[pinkskies]

way too much chocolate. i used guittard 72% wafers 100g and it was still way too rich, i had to dilute it with milk. it tastes like drinking brownie batter. I would cut it down to like 50g or use a semisweet or milk. you can always add more chocolate, but u cant take it away.

[Anti_thesis]

Who in their right mind still uses 'cups' as a measurement. Its not a proper system. Nice chocolate though.
