Parisian Hot Chocolate
Add the bittersweet chocolate into a small saucepan with ½ cup of milk.
115 g good quality bittersweet chocolate, 2 cups milk
Heat over medium heat, while stirring, until the chocolate melts. Keep stirring to prevent the chocolate from burning, and until you have a smooth chocolate sauce.
Add the rest of the milk and salt, and lower the heat to medium low.
2 cups milk, Pinch of sea salt
Mix with a whisk to combine.
Heat the chocolate milk over medium low heat, whisking frequently, for 15 minutes, until the chocolate milk thickens slightly.
Heating this over low heat (without letting it boil) will reduce the milk to a thick, luscious drink. Whisking frequently is important to prevent a milk skin from forming on top - if a milk skin does form, whisk it back into the milk.
Serve in two small glasses or demitasse cups (it's a rich, robust drink, so a little goes a long way).
Top with raspberry whipped cream and marshmallows. Enjoy!
