This prevents it from clumping when added to a hot liquid.<br \/>\n-Pour remaining half &#038; half into sauce pan, add vanilla seeds, and place over medium heat.<br \/>\n-Whisk cornstarch mixture together again briefly, then add to sauce pan.<br \/>\n-Cook mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture comes just up to a boil and thickens, 2-3 minutes.<br \/>\n-Once the mixture comes to a boil, remove immediately from heat.<br \/>\n-Add chocolate, and a pinch of salt.  The salt brings out the chocolate flavor and balances the sweetness.<br \/>\n-Stir mixture gently with a wooden spoon to melt the chocolate and incorporate the flavors.<br \/>\n-Pour hot water into serving cups, remove, and dry with a clean towel, then pour about \u00bd cup of hot chocolate into each cup.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=f8jLgPvFEd8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] [ad_2] There are hot chocolates &#8211; and then there&#8217;s Cioccolata Calda.
