One of my fondest memories of Paris was sipping a cup of thick, dark hot chocolate at one of their patisseries. French hot chocolate is velvety smooth, rich, decadent and almost the consistency of a molten chocolate bar. It is meant to be sipped slowly and savored. —Darlene Brenden, Salem, Oregon

Ingredients

2/3 cup 2% milk
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon confectioners' sugar
1/8 teaspoon instant espresso powder, optional
2 ounces dark chocolate candy bar, chopped
Whipped cream and chocolate shavings

Directions

In a small saucepan, heat milk, cream, brown sugar, confectioners' sugar and, if desired, espresso powder over medium heat until bubbles form around sides of pan. Remove from heat; whisk in dark chocolate until melted. Serve in mugs with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.

Test Kitchen tips

Espresso powder intensifies the chocolate flavor, but you may substitute coffee power or omit it altogether.
