French hot chocolate, the mother of all hot chocolates.  The biggest difference between your regular ‘ol hot chocolate and French hot chocolate is bittersweet chocolate.  Another big secret to this fancy sip is espresso powder, which is the perfect compliment to the bittersweet chocolate.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cup of milk
• 1/2 cup of heavy cream
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 6 oz bittersweet chocolate, roughly chopped if using bars (I used leftover chips)
• 1/4 tsp espresso powder (optional)
• 1 oz of Kahlúa coffee liqueur (more if you wanna really feel the buzz 😉  )
• Pinch of nutmeg, about 1/8 teaspoon (completely optional)

Instructions:

• In a saucepan whisk together milk, heavy cream, sugar, espresso powder, nutmeg (if using) over medium heat.  Once you see little bubbles forming on the sides turn off the heat, DO NOT LET IT BOIL.
• Immediately drop the chocolate pieces in and stir until melted and well incorporated.
• Add the Kahlúa and serve immediately.
