Santa's Reward Recipe
This is the perfect reward for children on Santa's "very good" list. It is essentially a liquid chocolate bar, and achieves ultimate richness when you use bittersweet chocolate with 62% to 72% cacao. Serve in demitasse cups to make it extra special, but be prepared to make more when people beg for a second helping.
Ingredients
- 5 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
- Put the chocolate and cream in a small saucepan over low heat. When the chocolate starts to melt after about 3 minutes, stir to blend. When the chocolate is completely melted and incorporated into the cream, add the milk and vanilla. Increase the heat to medium and stir often until the milk is warm, 3 to 4 minutes longer. Serve with a candy cane stirrer to make it extra special!
