Number Of Ingredients 2

Ingredients

2 (3-ounce) tablets Mexican table chocolate
4 cups milk

Steps:

Gather the ingredients.
The tablets of chocolate de mesa are usually divided into 6 to 8 wedges. Place each tablet on a cutting board and cut with a sharp knife into wedges. Don't worry if they don't cut perfectly-you are going to be dissolving the chocolate .
Place milk in a saucepan over medium heat.
Once the first tiny bubbles begin to appear in the milk, add the wedges of chocolate and continue heating, stirring slowly but constantly, until the chocolate has melted. Do not let milk boil; if it looks as if it is going to start boiling, take the pan off the heat for a few minutes, continue to stir, then turn burner down a bit and return pan to heat.
Drink hot chocolate as is, or place in a blender , half of the amount at a time, and carefully blend mixture until the desired degree of frothiness has been reached.

FRENCH HOT CHOCOLATE

French Hot Chocolate image

One of my fondest memories of Paris was sipping a cup of thick, dark hot chocolate at one of their patisseries. French hot chocolate is velvety smooth, rich, decadent and almost the consistency of a molten chocolate bar. It is meant to be sipped slowly and savored. -Darlene Brenden, Salem, Oregon

ANGELINA'S HOT CHOCOLATE

Angelina's Hot Chocolate image

The Angelina Cafe in Paris, open since 1903, serves a thick hot chocolate in demitasse cups with a tiny dollop of mascarpone and whipped cream. They are famous for making hot chocolate from melted chocolate bars. It is incredibly easy to prepare by mixing chocolate shavings with hot water. You can serve it in small cups or in 17th-century style chocolate pots and demitasse cups such as those sold in gourmet shops.
