chocolate allemande

★Ingredients

2 cups of milk

2 ounces of semi-sweet or dark chocolate, finely chopped

1 teaspoon of cornstarch (optional, for a thicker texture)

2 tablespoons of sugar

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)

Boston Cream Donuts

Wrap from the bottom

★Instructions

1. Heat the Milk:

• In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it is warm but not boiling.

1. Add Chocolate:

• Add the finely chopped chocolate to the warm milk, stirring continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.

1. Add Sugar and Thicken (if desired):

• Stir in the sugar. If you prefer a thicker hot chocolate, mix the cornstarch with a small amount of cold milk to form a slurry, then add it to the saucepan. Continue to cook and stir until the mixture thickens slightly.

1. Add Vanilla:

• Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

1. Serve:

• Pour the hot chocolate into cups. If desired, top with whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.

1. Enjoy!
