Introduction:
On a cold winter’s night, there’s nothing like a warm, rich cup of hot chocolate to soothe the heart. Today, we present you with a unique and luxurious variant – “hot chocolate” with top quality Foie Gras and four selected herbs. This drink is not only a revolution of traditional hot chocolate, but also a feast for the taste and smell.
Preparation of materials (for two persons) :
High quality dark chocolate 100g (chocolate with 70% or more cacao content is recommended to highlight its rich taste)
Whole milk 300ml
50g fresh foie gras (pre-processed until soft and delicate to remove excess grease)
Fresh rosemary, thyme, basil and mint (for added aroma and flavour)
Amount of caster sugar (adjusted to taste)
Small amount of salt (to enhance overall flavor)
Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
Production steps:
Preparation: Chop the dark chocolate to melt faster. Foie gras should be treated in advance to ensure it is soft and fine, and to remove grease from the surface. Rinse four herbs and set aside.
To make the chocolate base: Heat the milk in a small pot to a simmer, then turn down the heat. Slowly add the chopped chocolate to the milk, stirring gently with a wooden spoon as you go, until the chocolate is completely melted and incorporated into the milk to form a smooth chocolate base.
Foie gras: Add the treated foie gras into the chocolate base in small pieces or pureed form, continue to heat and stir with low heat, so that the delicious foie gras and the mellow chocolate penetrate each other and become one.
Add vanilla: Lightly crumble fresh rosemary, thyme, basil and mint to taste and add to the chocolate mixture. Take care to keep the heat and avoid boiling, so as not to destroy the aroma of the herbs.
Seasoning: Add caster sugar and a pinch of salt to taste to adjust sweetness and enhance overall flavor. Continue stirring until all ingredients are well combined.
Serving and garnish: Pour the hot chocolate into a preheated mug. Top with a sprinkling of chocolate crumbs or a squeeze of whipped cream. Finally, you can use a fresh vanilla leaf as an embellishment to add visual beauty.
