Christmas Hot Chocolate

Another Christmas late post to share.  I have always been wanting to make my own Hot Chocolate to slowly sip and enjoy, especially during the Christmas Season, but the sweetness shy me off!  Last year, I remember checking through quite a number of online recipes; and finally, I made this  Christmas Hot Chocolate.  It's so rich and creamy ~ sluuurrrp! ~

Ingredients:

2 cups whole milk

1 cup whipping cream

3 tbsp. sweetened condensed milk

5 ounces bittersweet chocolate (chips or finely chopped) 

A pinch of salt

Methods:

1. Add all the ingredients to a saucepan/pot over medium-low heat.  Bring the mixture to a very light simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.  It will lightly thickens as it simmers.
2. Pour into serving glasses.
3. Top with whipped cream, shaved chocolate and sugar beads.  
4. Enjoy!

Without Topping

This hot chocolate is so delicious, but it is still sweet, even after reducing the condensed milk and lessen my topping.

Sweet Beehive Buns

 

These buns are so addictive and sweet.  With the cream cheese filling, who would say no to it.  I did not use the whole amount of the sweet syrup, as I prefers it less sweet and not over soaked.
