How to choose the best ingredients for Spicy Dark Hot Chocolate
Dark chocolate: if you want to have a good chocolate drink, it is worth paying attention to the good quality ingredients. Here we will dissolve chocolate in milk and cream, so the more chocolate has a percentage of cocoa, the better. The one that is at least 60% is ideal.
Whipping cream: the perfect fat will be at least 30%. The cream must be very fresh, so be careful not to be too thick with a characteristic sheepskin, made as to the cream ages.
Milk: milk is also supposed to be fresh, and fatty.
Chili powder: chili powder will be perfect for chocolate. A million sweet pepper or cayenne pepper is not suitable. Chili powder adds only spiciness and a subtle flavor of paprika, making it a perfect match for dark chocolate.
Tips and Tricks for Spicy Dark Hot Chocolate
- If you don’t trust yourself and are afraid you might let the chocolate boil with a mixture of milk and cream, you can dissolve the drink in a water bath. Then it would be best if you also stirred it all the time.
- The final density of the chocolate depends on the quality of the products you use, so if you decide that the baking chocolate is too thin, add a little more chocolate. If it is too thick, add a little cream.
