Our friend Ariana (the email Santa!) just emailed us with the most delicious gift. A recipe. Not just any recipe, but a recipe for Café Angelina’s famous hot chocolate. Café Angelina (226 rue de Rivoli) in Paris is notorious for their velvety rich hot chocolate called Chocolat L’Africain (named so for it’s Ivory coast cacao beans). The tea room, close to the Louvre art museum, is a favorite venue of both local Parisians and tourists alike. Fashion designer Vera Wang listed it as one of her favorite destinations, and Grammy Award winning soprano opera Renée Fleming states Angelina’s “is a must for hot chocolate.” We love Ariana’s description the best: ”so sinfully thick, it’s almost difficult to pour”!
Café Angelina’s Chocolat L’Africain (deliciously decadent hot chocolate)
This recipe serves 2 small cups, or one large cup. 2 serious chocolate lovers should double it!
1/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tsp of confectioners’ sugar (aka powdered sugar)
4 oz of chopped 72% Omanhene brand bittersweet chocolate (you may use another brand here, but ensure that it is close to 70% cocoa. We chopped up half of a Lindt 70% bar, found in the baking section of our regular grocery store.)
Heat the milk, cream, and sugar over medium high heat until bubbles are created around the pot.
Remove the pot from heat. Add the bittersweet chocolate.
Stir until melted adjusting heat as needed. Serve topped with whipped cream.
{Tasting Notes: Our review after making this - it’s similar to drinking a chocolate bar, and perfect for those evenings when you are craving sweets after dinner. And put your guilt on the back burner, dark chocolate is antioxidant packed.}

Once you say hot chocolate, I’m there. I just love it. The richer the better. I think that for something so special, only the richest ingredients will do. This recipe certainly lives up to the indulgent aspect of hot chocolate. Thanks for sharing.

Dark chocolate is my favorite kind of chocolate. Chocolates have some natural antioxidants too.*;*

I’m lucky enough to say I’ve sat in Audrey Hepburns favorite cafe and enjoyed her favorite hot cocoa – Chocolat L’Africain. It is pure, decadent heaven. Make it, you won’t regret it!
OMG found the recipe for Cafe Angelina's (in Paris) Hot Chocolate!!!! Rejoice – http://t.co/EYDRdGT
I had it in June when, quite by accident, I walked into the Angelina’s that’s inside the Louvre Museum.
It was delicious, but tastes exactly like the Jello chocolate pudding mix (the kind you add milk to and cook over the stove for about 10 minutes ( not the instant variety.) I had read an article about Angelina’s hot chocolate years ago and was anxious to try it. I was really surprised when it tasted just like the chocolate pudding I make at home all the time from a mix. It was just a tad thinner, to make it drinkable.
