Indulge in Jacques Torres' Famous Hot Chocolate With Whipped Cream, a decadent European-style drinking chocolate that's thick, rich, and intensely flavorful. The secret technique of adding milk powder and cornstarch creates extraordinary velvety texture without diluting the chocolate flavor. Real 60% dark chocolate provides sophisticated depth while the barely-sweetened whipped cream balances the intensity. This luxurious treat transforms ordinary hot chocolate into an exceptional dessert-worthy experience perfect for special occasions.

Directions
For the whipped cream:
Pour the heavy cream into a medium mixing bowl and put it in the freezer for 5 minutes (If you don't have room for the bowl, just put the heavy cream in the freezer.)
Take the mixing bowl of whipped cream out of the freezer and whisk with a large whisk until soft peaks form.
For the hot chocolate:
Bring milk to a boil in a medium sauce pot over medium-high heat.
Lower the heat to medium then add the chocolate, whisking vigorously until the chocolate is completely melted.
Add the milk powder and cornstarch, still whisking, until everything is dissolved and the mixture is smooth and thick.
To serve, divide the hot chocolate among four mugs or glasses, then garnish each with a large dollop of whipped cream.

🙄 Help: Seriously? You don't need any help.
🌄 What's Up With The Images? Well, originally, we didn't have any pictures of the food at all. Intentionally! Because I find those sites with so many pictures that it takes forever to get through the directions to be annoying AF! I mean, seriously, if you need a picture to show you how to stir something, you shouldn't be cooking!
Then I decided to add pictures of the finished product when I remembered to take them, which isn't very often. There are a very few recipes which actually show some cooking steps, but not in the middle of the directions.
Anyway, recently I have discovered that AI can make credible images of the finished recipe. Is that right? Is it moral? Are robots taking over the world? Don't know; don't care. But I promise that unless you are a robot, your recipes won't turn out anything like the pictures.
💯 Why There Are Recipe Numbers Missing: Well, it's like this. The recipe numbers are automatically generated by the database, always using a new number for a new recipe. Over the last 20 years many recipes, mostly test recipes, have been added and then deleted, leaving only their memory and their number behind. And there was also a lot of weird stuff going on in the beginning, which messed up the order. In terms of date added, the first one is #6, then #4, #9, #10, #4, #718!!!, #2, and finally #1. Just the way databases and poor programmers work!
