Ok so the Kiwi has just gone to work; working the bars of the French Alps singing and playing guitar to tipsy cooing girls (its a hard life), and so I'm here now in my little French wooden house wondering what to do with myself. Aside from the fact I have got a ton of reading I should be buried in, I think I'm coming down with the Alps Lurgy! Inevitably all I can think about is my tummy, and considering the old saying 'Feed a cold' who I am to argue!
Yes yes a good old warming soup is the way forward, and having only the other day pre Alps Lurgy shopped with 'Potage aux Legumes' in mind, I will be honest and admit I would rather eat myself into a chocolate induced coma!
Alps style Hot Choccy anyone??
So Ok its not a food but it's obscene and indulgent and I can't think of anything else I would rather sit and sulk with..
Melt any good quality dark chocolate, I used a dark 60% cocoa bar, add single cream, caster sugar and milk! Heat through and stir until smooth!
Now depending on how much of a chocoholic you are you can choose the quantities for your personal taste... even enjoy a sprinkling of cinnamon or chilli for a tasty little kick!
Bid farewell to your grainy old hot chocolate because this Chocolat Chaud is the devil in a teacup!
