Mimi's Creamy & Dreamy Hot Chocolate

We woke upwards to a novel blanket of snowfall yesterday - a fresh means to origin the novel yr as well as romanticize remaining (potentially long...) wintertime months. As I've said, I genuinely dearest the quiet, coziness of Jan as well as Feb - warm soups, snuggly days, as well as hot chocolate.

Mike's parents are non java drinkers. (Which happens to endure the exact reverse of my parents, who origin their morn amongst a sum pot, as well as thence motility to K-cups throughout the 24-hour interval as well as complete amongst decaf at night.) But Mike's Mom & Dad create dearest real, decadent hot chocolate. Joy (his mom, Emma's Mimi) of late shared her novel favorite Hot Chocolate recipe, titled "Cream & Dreamy Hot Chocolate." It is simply that, thence creamy as well as silky, hot chocolate "...as thick as well as rich equally melted chocolate bars," - ok, non quite that rich, but it's a quote from Polar Express that I've read to Emma no less than four times a 24-hour interval for the by month.

One argue this is such a fabulous recipe is that it is really piece of cake (no chopping chocolate) as well as it tin proceed inwards the fridge for quite a piece (maybe a calendar week plus?) thence y'all tin brand 1 loving cup at a fourth dimension to enjoy. However, I bring made it amongst milk (instead of water) as well as it is fifty-fifty to a greater extent than cream as well as dreamy than the master - but using the milk does shorten its lifespan... which wasn't a work roughly here, equally we're already on our tertiary batch.

My favorite affair to create is seat the mutual coldness mixture into my Nespresso Aeroccino. It whips it upwards into a delicious creamy froth - no whip cream needed. You tin create the same affair amongst a whisk afterward heating it on the stove or inwards the microwave. I've made a yoke adjustments to the master recipe - I added a piddling chip to a greater extent than salt, as well as I piece of work Vanilla Bean Paste instead of extract for that existent vanilla edible bean essence.
