Hot Chocolate

Hot Chocolate Makes two 5 oz (140ml) cups 8g Dutch processed cocoa powder (1.5 Tbsp) 16g sugar (1 Tbsp + 1 tsp) 80g heavy cream (1/3 cup) a little pinch of salt (0.35g if using a high precision scale) 12g 85% chocolate (if using a Valrhona bar, that’s 1 square) 200g whole milk (1 cup minus 3 Tbsp) For serving: whipped cream (for every 100g of heavy cream, I add 25g creme fraiche) and shaved dark chocolate (I use a microplane zester for mine). In a small pot, whisk together cocoa powder, sugar, cream and salt. Cook over medium-low heat whisking constantly until completely smooth (don’t let it boil). Whisk in the chocolate until melted. Add the milk and bring to a simmer whisking often. Pour into cups, top with whipped cream and shaved chocolate.
