The World's Best Hot Cocoa

How to make the best hot cocoa in the world…

Like I said in the video… it all comes down to choosing the best chocolate.Any hot chocolate is going to be good, but if you really want to treat yourself to something great, give this recipe a try.

Recipe for 2 Cups:
1 1/2 c Whole Milk
1/2 c Heavy Cream
1 tsp Powdered Sugar
200g High Quality Dark Chocolate*

*If you prefer milk chocolate, go for it. If you like even darker chocolate, try that.

-Heat everything together on the lowest heat possible, whisking regularly to make sure nothing burns on the bottom.

-Heat until everything is perfectly smooth, and the serve with whipped cream, marshmallows, or however you like it.

NOTE: If you’re using a chocolate with a stabilizer in it, the hot cocoa will thicken as it heats up, so add some more milk to thin it out. The ingredient ratios above only really work for pure chocolate.

  2. YES! Le chocolat chaud from Angelina’s definitely makes it hard to enjoy hot chocolate any other way. One of the few “touristy” restaurants that imho are truly worth the hype in Paris!

  9. I'm no chocolate expert, but the best hot chocolate in the world is definitely being served somewhere in Mexico—in Oaxaca, probably

  12. If you have left overs you can also pour it in to popsicle molds to make fudge pops

  16. No offense meant but what you call hot chocolate is nothing but a milkshake..
    Real hot chocolate has to be THICC so you can dip your churros and it stays with them.

    Edit to add: to hell with the marshmallows.. ew

  17. Take the beast bar out of the stack. All the ones i see have like fiffteen+ ingridiants. It's basically a junk bar now.

  21. Hey trigg, after relentless testing on hot chocolatiering, and trying several french and italian hot chocolates, the key difference is that north and south americans are generally more drawn to a runnier, smooth hot chocolate while europeans prefer the texture of almost pudding, really thick and rich.

    Taste is subjective and so is basically every hot chocolate, be it made with abuelita and condensed milk, hot chocolate powder or the finest french chocolates available

    my personal favorite is spicing evaporated milk with aromatics (cinnamon, clove, nutmeg) and then mixing it with 2/3 whole milk, slowly incorporate >80% high quality dark chocolate until preferred consistancy, and condensed milk rather than sugar to prefered sweetness, I finish with a dollop of cream, powdered with cocoa powder and a drizzle of sweetened condensed milk

  22. So what chocolate do you recommend? I know you said ones with only three ingredients. But is there a specific one you like?
