It is so incredibly easy to make this creamy hot chocolate from scratch! It’s inspired by the Tiktok famous Paris hot chocolate videos and definitely worth making over the powdered mix.

You haven’t experienced luxury until you’ve had hot chocolate made from scratch with real, chopped up chocolate. For this recipe I use the combination of chopped up chocolate and cocoa powder to make is extra chocolat-ey. The freshly chopped dark chocolate makes this very velvety and rich, while the cocoa powder adds a strong chocolate aftertaste. Adding in the cornstarch makes this extra creamy and fluffy in texture. Finally, we finish off with a tiny pinch of salt and vanilla extract to bring the luxury to the next level
Every year around Christmas time, I love to get create with homemade gifts. To make this as a gift, just grate the chocolate bar into a fine powder and mix it with all the ingredients except for milk and vanilla extract. Stir to mix, pour it into a cute mason jar and attach a small handwritten note telling them how to make it!
