This is hestons, you don't have to aerate which makes it heavier and creamy, so it depends on one's preference

350g cold water
50g dark drinking chocolate (eg. https://www.chocosphere.com/ default/brand/t-z/valrhona/celaya-hot-chocolate.html)
40ml whipping cream
120ml semi skimmed milk
Pinch of salt
65g dark chocolate, broken into small pieces (minimum 60% cocoa solids)

Combine 350g cold water and the drinking chocolate into a saucepan and bring to a simmer over a medium heat. add the whipping cream while simmering, semi skimmed milk and salt, and stir to combine.

Once combined, pour over the chopped chocolate pieces and whisk to dissolve. Optional - season with Bailey's :-)

To make it lights, use a hand blender to aerate the chocolate.

As a German and big lover of Hot chocolate I understand Your post question very well. Use dark chocolate couverture and kakao powder. Ingredients: Milk, cream, kakao powder, dark chocolate couverture, salt, sugar, (Drops of ouzo or rum) . To achieve a smooth, thick dark chocolate with bitter tones like u know from belgium follow these steps. Heat milk without boiling it ( milk changes Taste after one Time boiling.) Grate chocolate couverture finely, mix under Hot milk while stir, sieve and mix gradualy kakao powder into milk chocolate base, taste, add a pinch of salt for round after taste, use sugar in small amounts, taste, add cream in small amounts and taste, add Drops of ouzo for a sharp after taste, or add drops of rum for a round after taste. I did not write amounts. Because u have to try step by step By Ur own. In the end u will achieve ur european result for sure. Write it down and be proud and happy. (If u prepare Hot chocolate for women I Found Out that they prefer the basic taste without any alcohol. Todd shewman comes close with His post. But don t use water. After taste of water with chocolate doesn t get u there where u want to get By taste. Try it Both ways and u will understand
