Description

Louise Pickerel of Muskogee, Oklahoma, writes: "The hot chocolate with coffee and hazelnut liqueurs here is my version of a restaurant recipe. I call it a "chocolate bar," and it does make a nice, lighter alternative to dessert after a filling meal. It's also something good to curl up with in front of the fire."

Ingredients

3/4 cup chilled whipping cream
6 tablespoons sugar
6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup water
3 1/2 cups whole milk
12 tablespoons Kahlúa or other coffee liqueur
12 tablespoons Frangelico (hazelnut liqueur)
Grated semisweet chocolate

Directions

  1. Beat cream in medium bowl until peaks form. (Whipped cream can be made 4 hours ahead; cover and refrigerate.)
  2. Whisk sugar, cocoa powder, and 1/8 teaspoon salt in heavy medium saucepan to blend. Gradually add 1/2 cup water, whisking until mixture is smooth. Bring mixture to simmer over medium-low heat, whisking constantly. Simmer 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk and return to simmer. Divide hot chocolate among 6 mugs. Stir 2 tablespoons of each liqueur into each mug. Top each with dollop of whipped cream, then sprinkle with grated chocolate. /epi-preparation>
