Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, pour the 4 cups of 1% fat milk.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and warm the milk until it is steaming, but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
- Once the milk is steaming, add the finely chopped dark chocolate and milk chocolate to the saucepan.
- Whisk continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Add the 1/2 cup of light sour cream to the chocolate mixture.
- Whisk until the sour cream is fully combined and the hot chocolate is creamy and smooth.
- Add 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar to the hot chocolate.
- Whisk thoroughly until the sugar is dissolved and the hot chocolate is sweetened to your taste.
- Once the hot chocolate is fully combined and heated through, turn off the heat.
- Use a ladle to pour the Belgian hot chocolate into mugs.
- Serve immediately. You can enjoy it as is or top with whipped cream, marshmallows, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder if desired.
Tips:
- Use high-quality dark and milk chocolate for the best flavor outcome.
- Continuously stir the mixture while heating to avoid burning the chocolate.
- If you prefer a thicker hot chocolate, add an extra tablespoon of powdered sugar or reduce the amount of milk slightly.
- For a more luxurious experience, top it with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cocoa powder before serving.
- Feel free to experiment by adding a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or a splash of vanilla extract for a unique twist.
