Description
Step into a cozy Parisian café—without leaving your kitchen. This French-style hot chocolate is ultra-rich, creamy, and deeply chocolatey—like sipping melted truffle in a cup. It’s thicker and more indulgent than the classic version, making it the ultimate winter warmer. Whether you’re curled up with a book or sharing it fireside, this drink wraps you in velvet warmth.

2 cups whole milk
½ cup heavy cream
6 oz high-quality dark chocolate (60–70% cacao), finely chopped

Top with whipped cream or shaved chocolate
Add a pinch of cinnamon or espresso powder for depth
Splash of orange liqueur or peppermint extract for a festive twist
