The Best Chocolate for Making Awesome Hot Chocolate From Scratch
Hot chocolate is always delicious, but should you use powdered or hard chocolate for the best quality? What about the amount of cocoa in the chocolate? An experienced chocolatier reveals everything.
At Food52, Leslie Stevens spoke to master pasta chef and chocolate expert Jacques Torres , and he suggests that you use powdered chocolate with at least 60% cocoa but less than 80% cocoa. Powder dissolves faster than hard chocolate, and by staying in this range of cocoa percentages, your hot chocolate will be rich and flavorful. If you want even more flavor, stewing it with a banana peel will take your hot chocolate to the next level. You can get more great hot chocolate making tips from the link below.
