hot chocolate recipe

hot chocolate recipe with dark chocolate

A hot chocolate so thick you feel you’re drinking liquid chocolate and it’s this way because it has really chocolate melted through minimal cream and milk.

This is so thick that when it cools its basically chocolate pudding without cornstarch or flour in sight thanks to that cream so is this also perfect cold!

Why you'll love this

So thick!!

This is the thickest hot chocolate you might ever make at home and it’s rich like liquid chocolate, but this is dessert in a cup!

Lucious chocolate

Real chocolate is used here, no cocoa powder or hot chocolate mix - real proper chocolate and you can taste it!

Chocolate pudding

If this lasts long enough to cool completely, it turns into lucious chocolate pudding.

Ingredients and substitutions for Café Angelina’s Chocolat L’Africain - Thick Hot Chocolate

  • Cream: Heavy cream was used here thanks to being super thick and more luxurious but pouring cream would be perfect as well.
  • Milk: Full fat dairy milk was used here and you could substitute with non dairy milk or skim milk
  • Chocolate: 56% dark chocolate was used here because this is less sweet and higher quality.
  • Sugar: Superfine or caster sugar is used here because of how easily it dissolves and keeps our mixture smooth. The original recipe uses confectioner’s or icing sugar and
  • Salt: Sea salt or kosher salt was used here, this gives the hot chocolate depth of flavor.

Equipment needed to make this

Grater, peeler or mandolin: We need nice fine shards or pieces of chocolate here so one of these will help give you the nice fine pieces that will melt easily and swiftly!

Saucepan: A small saucepan is best here because you don’t need much to create these!

Whisk: A whisk will help you create a nice smooth thick hot chocolate.

FAQ's for the best Café Angelina’s Chocolat L’Africain - Thick Hot Chocolate

Can I make my French Hot Chocolate ahead?

As this cools it will firm up to more of a pudding so this is best made just prior to serving, though you could finely chop the chocolate well ahead and keep it covered in a container.
