Liquid Chocolate
January 17th, 2008 by monnibo | Recipes, Sharing, Travel
For Christmas, CW’s university friends Harriet and Coleen gave me a bottle of “Liquid Chocolate” from Hotel Chocolat. It is amazingly rich chocolate flakes that you sprinkle (in heaping spoonfuls) into your hot milk on the stove (or “hob” as the instructions say). There is even a link to their website for extra recipes mentioned on the label.
A couple nights ago, CW and I decided to treat ourselves and made a batch. At one point I boiled it over because it warms up so nicely on the stove. I then had a nice warm bath with my new orange bath salts and mandarin soap. One problem: does anyone know how to stop the hot-cocoa skin from forming as it cools?

To avoid the skin from forming, use a whisk to stir. Makes a nice foam on top too.

Also, never boil milk. Just simmer :)
