Hi i'm french and your recipe looks delicious. I have never made it with have to try it. I make this chocolate with a little cinnamon and nutmeg. On the other hand, do not add sugar to the chocolate, it is not necessary because it is sweet enough, especially if you add whipped cream. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you!! I made this for my husband today! He was so impressed!!! We will cherish this from now on! Thank you for the recipe! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Gave this recipe a try & it turned out quite well. 70% dark chocolate was a bit too bitter for me, even with the whipped cream, however a 1:1 blend with semisweet chocolate works well. The drink would also solidify a bit as it cooled, making it a little difficult to drink, however decreasing the ratio of heavy cream to milk to 1:8 worked well to prevent this from occurring. Overall an excellent recipe and technique. Will be making this for friends and family.
