Indulge in Jacques Torres' Famous Hot Chocolate With Whipped Cream, a decadent European-style drinking chocolate that's thick, rich, and intensely flavorful. The secret technique of adding milk powder and cornstarch creates extraordinary velvety texture without diluting the chocolate flavor. Real 60% dark chocolate provides sophisticated depth while the barely-sweetened whipped cream balances the intensity. This luxurious treat transforms ordinary hot chocolate into an exceptional dessert-worthy experience perfect for special occasions.

Ingredients
For the whipped cream:
1 cup heavy cream, chilled

For the hot chocolate:
2 cups whole milk*
50g (about 1/2 cup) milk powder (Klim®)
3g (about 1 teaspoon) cornstarch
150g (about 1 cup) 60% dark chocolate, in disks or coarsely chopped

*Note: This hot chocolate is very rich. If you like it slightly thinner, use 3 cups of milk.

Directions
For the whipped cream:
Pour the heavy cream into a medium mixing bowl and put it in the freezer for 5 minutes (If you don't have room for the bowl, just put the heavy cream in the freezer.)
Take the mixing bowl of whipped cream out of the freezer and whisk with a large whisk until soft peaks form.

For the hot chocolate:
Bring milk to a boil in a medium sauce pot over medium-high heat.
Lower the heat to medium then add the chocolate, whisking vigorously until the chocolate is completely melted.
Add the milk powder and cornstarch, still whisking, until everything is dissolved and the mixture is smooth and thick.

To serve, divide the hot chocolate among four mugs or glasses, then garnish each with a large dollop of whipped cream.
