    Our version of this classic cold-weather treat is inspired by the wonderfully rich hot chocolate served in Manhattan’s City Bakery. City Bakery’s hot chocolate—made with an assortment of dark chocolate bars and dairy from local farms and topped with a huge homemade marshmallow (it costs extra)—was a gamechanger in how hot chocolate is made everywhere, and—no surprise—is a favourite of chocolate lovers in New York City and beyond. In fact, many chocolate connoisseurs consider it one of the world’s best hot chocolate recipes.

  • RECIPE

    INGREDIENTS

    500 ml milk, whole milk or full-cream milk, (about 2 cups)
    120 gram chocolate, bitter-sweet or semi-sweet, good quality, grated
    4 marshmallows

    COOKING METHOD

    1. Pour milk into a saucepan and place on medium heat. Once the milk reaches scalding point and bubbles start to form around the sides of the pan, add grated chocolate. Stir or whisk till the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat.
       
    2. Place 1 marshmallow in each of the 2 cups and pour hot chocolate over the marshmallow. Dunk another marshmallow into each cup of hot chocolate and serve immediately.

      Cook’s Note: There are 2 large, soul-satisfying helpings of hot chocolate. If you’re not a chocoholic, you can pour the hot chocolate into 4 cups instead of 2, but still with 2 marshmallows in each. In that case, you will need 8 marshmallows.

      Use the best-quality chocolate you can find. There are just three ingredients in the recipe and the quality of chocolate is of the utmost importance. Be picky, as inferior-quality chocolate will ruin your hot chocolate while good-quality chocolate will result in deliciously rich cup of chocolate velvet!

      Makes: 2 large cups or 4 smaller cups
      Prep Time: 6 minutes
      Cook Time: 4 minutes
