Brandy-spiked hot chocolate
This hot chocolate is not the frothy liquid we are used to but the thick mixture of cream and melted chocolate served in European cafés and brasseries.
Makes: 4 cups hot chocolate
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups cream
- 1 ½ cups finely chopped good quality dark chocolate
- 2 tablespoons brandy
- Whipped cream for garnish
Method:
- Put the cream into a small saucepan and bring to the boil. Add the chocolate and brandy and stir until dissolved. The mixture should be thick and creamy.
- Pour into 4 small cups and top each with a spoonful of whipped cream.
