Seductive Hot Chocolate

By rossboys

Found this recipe in the same book I found the whiskey butter

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups half-and-half
• 1 1/2 tsp cornstarch
• Sugar to taste
• 3 oz fine-quality dark chocolate, chopped or grated
• A shot of peppermint schnapps or espresso (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

In a bowl, combine a bit of the half-and-half with the cornstarch, whisking until smooth. Place the remaining half-and-half in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer; don't let it boil. When the half-and-half begins to bubble around the edges, whisk in the sugar. Whisk in the cornstarch mixture until the half-and-half thickens slightly, usually less than a minute. Remove from the heat and quickly whisk in the chocolate until very smooth. Pour into two cups. Add a shot of schnapps or espresso, if desired.
