This is amazing, I’ve been looking for a sippable chocolate that I wouldn’t have to pay $4.00 for, this fit the bill perfectly, I used a 1/4 c heavy cream and the rest milk & it was amazing!

I was craving a thick cup of chocolate, but since Starbucks doesn’t make their Chantico chocolate drink anymore, I was stuck. But now that I have this recipe, I have no worries. I can’t call this hot chocolate because it is more comparable to drinking a bar of melted chocolate, sinful. I added a pinch of paprika, not enough to give it a mexican hot chocolate vibe, but to bring out the cocoa flavors and also added a couple pinches of salt (I always feel like there should be even just a tiny bit of salt to bring out the sweetness of desserts). I ended up adding a couple splashes of milk in at the end because it thickened up almost to pudding texture, and I wanted to sip it, not spoon it. Thank you for the recipe! I will make this many times in the cold of winter.

Yum, looks amazing. I whip some whipping cream up but only 1/2 whipped so it’s still pourable and not too much sugar. You can pour it over the back of a spoon and it will float on top of the chocolate. When you take a sip you get the cold cream first then the thick rich chocolate. Soooo good! Will be using your recipe next time.
