Hot Chocolate Recipe for a Chocolat Chaud {Texas}

Recipe from Texas! I have the full proof  Hot Chocolate Recipe that I make for cool evening sitting by the firer place. Creamy decadent chocolate from Delysia Chocolatier has upgraded my hot chocolate.

I like to call this hot chocolate Made for Grown Ups, for mom's and dad's who need a break at the end of the night. This hot chocolate is a complete luxury in a warm cup. It’s thick and creamy with a taste of pumpkin spice that swirls in a cup.

It reminds me of hot chocolate that is served year round in France or Belgium. They take their Hot Chocolate very seriously and it is not a child’s hot coco but as an afternoon delight. 

Chocolate in Europe is taken very seriously with specialty shops in every town but no matter what bistro, the menu will always have dense drinking chocolate called Chocolat Chaud. 

The chocolate in Europe also has a richer taste of creamy base and more dense. Where American chocolate is not as rich and dense. Yet we do have excellent chocolate in the United States. It is not as common to have specialty chocolate shops in every town.

The great thing about living in the USA is everything can be ordered online and delivered to your door steps the next day. Which brings me to Delysia Chocolatier where you can travel the world through chocolate. The first time I had it, I was in love with the flavor.

Ways to Serve the Hot Chocolate

I will sometimes top my hot chocolate with a little whipped cream or use my Milk Frother from Nespresso. I love the way the milk foam comes out and it’s perfect for my hot chocolate. There are many topping to be served with hot chocolate which makes it more of a dessert to me when serving.

Here are some toppings:

• Marshmallows
• Peppermint Sticks
• Cinnamon Sticks to mix
• Whip Cream
• Amaretto
• Powder Coco
• Shaved Chocolate
