Directions
Aprs-Ski Holiday Hot Chocolate With Brandy and Cream,This spiced cinnamon hot chocolate is liberally laced with brandy and topped with whipped cream, it is the type of hot chocolate I remember drinking aprs-ski in Germany and in the French Alps. It is the perfect drink to warm your tingling fingers and toes on a cold and frosty evening or morning. Great throughout the Holiday season, as well as Christmas, New Year and the winter months, OR for those “Why Not” days! This makes 4 generous tall mugs of hot chocolate. Please adjust the brandy to suit your taste – we find the amount listed here gives a lovely warm tingle, however you can leave the brandy out for drivers and those that don’t drink alcohol – you will still have a delicious spiced and decadent drink! Do try to use a high quality and high cocoa solids chocolate – it makes all the difference to the taste! Salut !,This was a nice rich finish to dinner tonight. used Scharffen-Berger bittersweet squares for the chocolate, added a bit of extra sugar, and used 4 tbs of brandy. I also went with the cinnamon sprinkle for the topping (no sticks, though; too lazy to dig them out of the spice cabinet. Thanks for posting! Made for Culinary Quest 2 Switzerland,I made one serving of this delight last evening for myself. Made just as written using cherry brandy. It may be summer but we had a flash storm yesterday evening and this was simply wonderful with the howling wind and strong rain. Made for the Cherry Bombs team, Culinary Quest 2015. Keeper for sure!
