Why hello Spring, when did you get here? Because according to our radar, it snowed on your first day. That's why I'm still pretending you don't exist and sipping hot chocolate!
True, in other areas of the States it might feel like Spring...maybe even Summer. But here in preppy little New England, we still have snow and temperatures in the 30s. Not that I'm complaining, though while I love warmer weather and shorts, it's not easy to pull off a convincing excuse for drinking hot chocolate in the Summer. So for all you looking to hold on to hot chocolate weather just a little bit longer, check out my three chocolate hot chocolate and try it out before the flip-flops come back!
Three Chocolate Hot Chocolate
2 c. Milk 2%
1/4 c. Whole Milk
2 Tbls. Heavy Cream
1/3 c. Milk Chocolate, finely chopped
1/3 c. Bittersweet Chocolate, finely chopped
1/4 c. Semisweet Chocolate, finely chopped
1 tsp. Vanilla
Whipped Cream
Directions:
In medium saucepan, whisk all ingredients, except the whipped cream, together over a medium heat, stirring most of the time, until the the chocolate is dissolved (this includes the chocolate flecks which hang around on the top for a while even after the chocolate has melted in), it takes about 10 minutes or so. Pour into mugs and finish off with a dollop of whipped cream. Serves 2. Enjoy!
