Better Vs Best hot chocolate

[TheTrueMac]

everyone knows Ned Flanders makes the best hot chocolate.

[FuriousCheddar]

Totally agree with the different forms of chocolate. It really provides such a richness. Are you familiar with sahleb? Italians have a hot chocolate version of that called ciocolato calda. Basically thickened with corn starch. Look it up and try it when it starts to get cold in a few months.

I recommend Ann Reardon's hot chocolate recipe from "How to cook that", she also in a video talked about the issue with high brand chocolate and what to use instead.

Just melt 2 small blocks of good quality dark chocolates in a hot milk cup. Best hot chocolate ever. Way better than the crap they sell at expensive coffee shops. No comparison!

FINALLY! An actual fresh unique new take on hot cocoa ❤ this is amazing

As an Italian, when I went to the US and the UK and asked for a hot chocolate, it felt like they were serving me dirty hot water with chocolate residue

I’ve started adding a little bit of condensed milk to my hot chocolate instead of sugar. It’s rich but delicious

Second hot chocolate looks great, but I’d always prefer the first one. That’s a cup of pure nostalgia.

Pro tip: for the best (my personal favorite) hot chocolate add a pinch of cinnamon or salt, or both! It'll enhance the flavour, trust me.

Personal favourite hot choc base: equal parts cocoa powder and honey, mix until you have a lovely paste and no loose cocoa powder, then pour in hot milk/water in any ratio you like and stir. So good ❤

It’s probably so rich that my throat would start to sting the moment it touches my lips

For one cup of my best hot chocolate, I melt about 50 grams of chocolate in a bit of milk, slowly, when it's melted into a ganache and I add cinnamon to taste, 3 tbsp of sugar, and a cup of half and half, and slowly heat up until hot. I use a foamer which helps make the half and half even smoother and creamer, then serve and top with a dusting of more cinnamon. You can use whatever blend of chocolates you enjoy best, and the sugar is to taste, so it isn't really necessary.

Nestle is a gross company but switching out that ingredient for an ethical cocoa it sounds good

Watch out for hot things in plastic (BPA)

Man poured that hot chocolate latte with zero effort.

I'm Italian and I just discovered that people around the world aren't used to cioccolata calda. Guess it's just another entry on the list of "things so good that you think everyone knows it but actually only exist here".
Thanks for sharing

Thank you, finally someone reasonable and has good taste to not put neither cornstarch nor flour in that hot chocolate ❤ most of the recipes out there make pudding or flan and claim it's hot chocolate, this is by far the best ❤

[AnnaTodorova_piano]

The second one looks like it’s worth living for!!!

I'm allergic to coffee so this is a nice way for me to experiment with latte art

How long would you expect the syrup to keep? And in the fridge or room temp?
