Philadelphia Ritz Carlton's Basic Hot Chocolate

 

4 ounces milk

4 ounces heavy cream

1/2 to 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (to taste)

2-1/2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, broken into small pieces

1 pinch cinnamon

1 large tablespoon whipped cream

1 pinch cocoa powder (optional)

 

Over low heat, warm the milk, heavy cream, and sugar in a saucepan.

Add the chocolate and the cinnamon, and continue heating - whisking

constantly - until chocolate melts. Do not let mixture come to a boil.

 

Pour into a cup and, just before serving, place the large tablespoon

of whipped cream on top and sprinkle a bit of cocoa powder over the

top for garnish, if desired.

 

Makes 1 serving.
