Devil's Chocolate

"Closer to a Dessert than a Hot Drink"

Chocolate has also been called the food of the devil. Well! ... How do you like your hot chocolate? Whatever your preference, be it kicked up with a shot of your favorite liqueur or thick and decadent.

Mine is thick hot chocolate, creamy but not too sweet ... Ummm!!

Today I had join my friend birthday party at Sweet Sin Cafe. The notable hot drink (for me) is Devil's Chocolate that the waitress gave me a detail as it'd be my favorite "Thick Chocolate" ahhh! it just (hot) chocolate ... lukewarm, light and too sweet. Also cakes are not taste like others recommended.

Let's look at my real "Thick Chocolate", might be your favorite as well.

... the taste is very creamy and rich with chocolate but that is certainly not an everyday drink. Unlike coffee, chocolate has to be served steaming hot, never lukewarm. I had this hot chocolate when I was in Leeds, UK and it was the thickest, smoothest hot chocolate drink I have had anywhere. This is highly recommended!

  • 2 squares BAKER'S Unsweetened Baking Chocolate
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 4 cups milk
Place water and chocolate in heavy medium saucepan; cook on low heat until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is well blended, stirring constantly with wire whisk. Add sugar; mix well. Bring to boil on medium-high heat. Boil 3 min., stirring constantly. Gradually add milk, stirring with wire whisk until well blended.

Stir this until it is a smooth paste. Heat this mixture continually stirring with a whisk while pouring in milk. Bring to a simmer and hold for 10 minutes (stirring often).
When the mix thickens to the consistency of unset pudding it is ready.


Pour into mugs and enjoy!
