One of the best things about my time abroad in Paris was exploring the many Parisian food wonders. A favorite was their chocolat chaud. This wasn't just hot chocolate as known in the States but more like a thick melted chocolate drink. It was marvelous and such an indulgence.
Forte's motto is "Celebrate Life Through Chocolate". I cannot think of a better way to celebrate life than with a mug full of this Parisian Drinking Chocolate.
This recipe may be small but a mug of this stuff really packs a punch. You steam whole milk on the stove top. Once it is piping hot, remove the pot and add chocolate, vanilla, espresso powder, and a touch of sea salt.
Slowly stir in all of the wonderful flavors. The milk will thicken and turn into a rich chocolate treat.
