Description: This hot chocolate recipe is a sumptuous Belgian luxury that any chocolate lover will love. The true gourmet will serve this hot chocolate with a dollop of whipped cream and might just go straight to heaven.
Ingredients: 1 Crust (bottom only):
4 cups of milk 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise 7 ounces bittersweet chocolate, preferable Callebaut, chopped into small pieces
Directions: 1) Combine the milk and vanilla bean in a medium-size saucepan. Heat the milk over medium heat until bubbles appear around the edge. Reduce the heat to low, add the chocolate, and whisk occasionally until melted.
2) Turn off the heat and remove the vanilla bean. (You can rinse, let dry, and save for another purpose) If the chocolate milk is too thick, thin it with a little more milk. Just before serving, whisk the milk vigorously to create lots of foam.
