Thick hot chocolate
 

Can anyone give me the brand name of a hot chocolate that goes really thick? My homemade churros go really soggy in thin stuff. Thanks

Make your own with grated quality chocolate and milk.

Thanks for that but not sure on quantities and I'd hate to waste good, real chocolate. You got a recipe, please?

The way I make it is I get a high cocoa bar of chocolate, say 70% and above (don't buy that cheap cooking crap) then I flake it off, heat up a pan of milk (full fat if you can get it) and slowly let it dissolve, whisking it to make sure it mixes and doesn't boil.

Great. I'll try that.

Don't forget the whipped cream!!!!

And if you are ever in Madrid, go to the Chocolateria San Gines. They are famous for having some of the best hot chocolate and churros around.

Can't stand the stuff myself but as the Spanish have it for breakfast I do know they sell shed loads of the stuff in the shops and bars, can't recommend a brand though.

What have I done now????

The purest form of chocolate you can purchase in Spain is Valor a la taz, (tins). Others have varying amounts of sugar added.

Whipped cream's a bit OTT!!!

Re: Thick hot chocolate
 

Yeah.... but it tastes SO good!

I'm lazy and if I want hot chocolate I buy the ready to drink stuff that just needs heating up.

But there aren't many greater disappointments in life than asking for a hot chocolate in a bar/cafe and being presented with a ColaCao.

The worst gliff I had was asking for one and getting a cup of lukewarm milk and a sachet of powder on the side.
