How do I make a thicc hot chocolate like the ones you get at a bar?
I've tried with potato flour but it doesn't taste good at all.

nice trips

I'd probably just make a ganache and then add more liquid until it's the preferred consistency

How are you supposed to melt chocolate though? I tried putting a bar of Hershey's chocolate in the microwave and it just burned.

Of course I tried chocolate, but I can't get the same density as the bought one.

Now that I'm looking around there might be a difference between normal hot chocolate and what I want to make, the italian equivalent of it.

Sure you can, heavy cream and milk should be pretty good. Ratio dependent on how thick you want it. A good whisk and some effort should get exactly what you want.

nice dubs

this though. Make a thin ganache. Hot cream over chocolate, whisk adding more cream until desired consistency, like I said here

>>8361562

You can use milk but cream is more rich. You can heat the cream in the microwave. You don't need to heat the chocolate in the microwave, but if you feel you must then heat it with the cream in bursts of no more than 30 seconds, stirring after each go.

You can also use a double boiler but the microwave is probably easier from what your experience seems to dictate.

Cocoa powder
Melted chocolate (bain marie)

Smaller pieces, microwave at lower power, repeat if necessary and stir using residual heat to melt it.

I know I'm doing it wrong but I just make a roux and add my chocolate powder and then milk until I get desired consistency.

adding orange zest to hot chocolate with marshmallows in it. What a fucking disgrace. "Hey mom can i have some gelatin in my gourmet hot cocoa? Sure son, feel free to be the biggest faggot you can be."

>> No.8365803

The real question is, how the fuck do you get rid of the cocoa clumps? There's always some at the bottom.
