Let’s face it–on a freezing cold winter day, there’s not much that compares to a steamy cup of hot chocolate. You can drink tea or coffee, but sometimes that sweet tooth kicks in, and you need something a little more to get you through the cold.
This feeling is exactly what Parisians understood when they created the perfect cup of hot chocolate. Parisians have totally nailed their hot chocolate, and there is truly nothing like it. It’s thick. It’s creamy. It’s SO chocolatey. Nothing compares. So what’s the secret?
If you’re used to hot chocolate in the United States (which is usually made from a powder and sometimes water), you won’t even believe your taste buds when you taste a sip from a Parisian hot chocolate. Made from only 2 simple high-quality ingredients, it’s incredibly easy to make. Parisians only use milk (never cream), and high-quality chocolate, and if you really want to add a bit of sugar you can. The key is to focus on the type of chocolate you use because that’s really the star of the show. Since the recipe for hot chocolate is so simple, you are legitimately drinking liquid chocolate–which is basically every chocolate lover’s dream.
If you ever find yourself in Paris during the winter months, just remember that no matter how cold it gets, you will be okay because you’re in the city with the best hot chocolate in the world! If you can’t make it to Paris this winter, don’t worry! You can totally make this at home on your stove. Just heat up some milk and melt your favorite high-quality chocolate.
