HOT CHOCOLATE/62-70%

• 6 ounces Scharffen Berger 70% Cacao Bittersweet or 62% Cacao Semisweet Chocolate
• 1 quart milk-from nonfat to half & half (your preference)

Break-up chocolate and place in a small, heavy saucepan. Melt with one cup of the milk over med-low heat while stirring constantly. When the chocolate has melted, bring up the heat to medium and add the remainder of the milk while whisking rapidly.

Do not allow to boil.

Serve in small cups with a dollop of whipped cream or fortify with Cognac, Rum, Irish Whiskey, or Brandy. Made with regular milk, this is a great low-cholesterol substitute for Eggnog.
