Hot Chocolate With Brandy
Melt chocolate chips, mix in milk gradually, whisk in cream and cornstarch, bring to a boil, and add brandy for a touch of elegance. Savor the velvety richness in every sip.
Equipment
- 1 cup
Ingredients
- 5 Oz. bittersweet chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 Cups milk
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 Tablespoons brandy you may want more depending on your taste
Instructions
- Over medium heat, melt the chocolate chips. (It’s labor intensive: constantly stir to avoid scalding.)
- Very slowly, mix in the milk. (Do not add all the milk at once; otherwise the chocolate will not blend evenly throughout the mixture.)
- Just as slowly, whisk in the heavy cream and cornstarch.
- Slowly bring to a boil until you find your preferred consistency. Then, add the brandy.

Notes
Adjust the boiling time to achieve your preferred consistency. If you prefer a thicker hot chocolate, allow it to simmer a bit longer.
