Gratuitous Chocolate Moment - Valrhona Hot Chocolate


Valrhona Hot Chocolate. A swanky ceramic cup full of that perfectly-melted chocolate libation could fend off bad weather anywhere.
Valrhona makes some of France’s most indulgent chocolate. The company’s meticulously-trained experts create blends using top-quality beans sourced from top-secret plantations. Valhrona is embraced throughout Europe and well known in the US (the popularity of the molten Valrhona chocolate cake surged in American restaurants in the 1990s).

Valrhona Hot Chocolate

Chop or grate three ounces of Valrhona chocolate into small pieces. Heat one cup of milk on low until just below the boiling point. Whisk in the chocolate until melted and incorporated. Remove the pot from the heat, cover it, and let the mixture sit for twenty minutes. Allowing the hot chocolate to steep in this way will enhance the flavors. Before serving, heat the mixture to just below boiling point again.
Serves one.
