*bats eyelashes at friends list*
Would someone be an absolute doll and get me some hot chocolate? I'm in the middle of organizing
apocalyptothon assignments, I'm on a roll, and I'm loathe to get up. *smiles cutely*
(This isn't laziness so much as fear because the last time I got up, one of the kitchen chairs tried to eat my toes.)

Date: 2006-01-14 08:23 am (UTC)(I say that as calmly as I possibly can, because I'm so impatient that if I could get away with it, I would make the deadline yesterday. Heck, going over the requests just to assign 'em is giving me tons of ideas. *goes back to chewing fingernails waiting anxiously for June 1*)

Date: 2006-01-14 08:17 am (UTC)Perfect Hot Chocolate
Yield: 6 cups of hot chocolate
7oz (200g) bittersweet chocolate
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup evaporated milk
2 1/2 cups whole milk (or 2 cups milk and 1/2 cup additional cream)
1 1/2 cups water (optional)
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
sugar, to taste
freshly whipped cream, to garnish
To make the ganache, chop the chocolate into small pieces and place in a heatproof bowl. Bring the cream and evaporated milk to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat. Immediately pour the boiling liquid over the chopped chocolate, then let it sit undisturbed for 1 minute. Stir slowly until everything is smooth and blended.
Bring the whole milk and optional water to a boil over medium heat. Add the cocoa powder and whisk until dissolved. Remove from the heat and stir in the ganache. Let sit for 1 minute, then stir until well combined and velvety smooth. Stir in the vanilla, sweeten with sugar to taste and serve hot, garnished with a spoonful of lightly-sweetened whipped cream.

Can't wait for the ficathon to start! (I soooo hope I can write something good).
