Chocolat Chaud (French Hot Chocolate)
Chocolat Chaud (French Hot Chocolate) is French home cooking, eaten at breakfast. On the plate it is the dish at the centre. Below is what usually sits beside it, what it does and does not contain, and what else to cook once you have made it.
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 pinch salt
How to cook it
- Warm the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until steaming, but not boiling.
- Whisk in the cocoa powder and the sugar until fully dissolved and no lumps remain.
- Add the pinch of salt to round out the sweetness.
- Keep whisking over low heat for another minute until the hot chocolate turns smooth and slightly frothy.
- Pour into a bowl or a large mug and serve right away while hot, the classic French kids' breakfast drink.
