French hot chocolate

Ingredients

• 350 ml milk
• Big splash double cream
• 1/2 heaped cup dark chocolate chips
• Pinch salt

• Whipped cream to serve

Method

1. Add your milk and cream to a saucepan on medium heat.
2. Stir, and when you start to see steam, add your chocolate chips.
3. Take off the heat whilst you stir through your chocolate, making sure it’s fully incorporated, and not stuck to the bottom of the pan.
4. Put the pan back over the heat, turn it to medium-low - you want the hot chocolate to get really thick now.
5. Leave the hot chocolate to thicken, but stir every minute or so. If it starts to stick to the pan, remove from the heat, then turn the heat to low.
6. Once your hot chocolate is the consistency of double cream, add to your serving glasses/ mug, sprinkle with some salt, and top with your whipped cream * for the whipped cream, I just whipped about 1/4 cup of double cream with a whisk, until it was thick and airy.
