Rich and Creamy Hot Chocolate #FoodieMamas

Rich & Creamy Hot Chocolate www.bestofthislife.com

As I write this blog post, it feels like an icy -27°c in Ottawa. That. is. cold. 

Dear winter, you were easy on us at first, please don’t destroy us with your body-numbing cold now.

Going outside officially feels like walking through a deep freezer. Brrrr… But, thankfully we have a warm house and hot chocolate to keep us from becoming popsicles. This hot chocolate isn’t your typical cup of cocoa. It’s extra rich, creamy and decadent. It truly is a dessert in of itself.

You can make this recipe with whole milk or canned coconut milk. Either way, it will be frothy, thick, and wonderfully delicious.

The key to this recipe is using semi-sweet chocolate, as oppose to cocoa powder. The melted chocolate and heavy milk create a very luxurious and silky pot of hot chocolate. It happens right before your eyes, as you stir in the chocolate it blends with the milk and low and behold, a heavenly aroma transpires and the most delectable hot chocolate appears. 

Pour a cup, grab a blanket, curl up on the couch and enjoy.

This month, the Foodie Mamas are all about the chocolate! Keep scrolling after my recipe for even more tantalizing desserts. Make sure to visit these amazing food bloggers to get all of those delicious chocolate recipes. You won’t be sorry.

Happy Valentine’s Day weekend!
