French Drinking Chocolate

Typo- Please use 2 tsp instead of 2 Tbsp cornstarch.  Sorry!

(note: recipe has been corrected!)

This was really good!  I added somewhere in between 2tsp and 2Tbsp cornstarch and it was just the right thickness.  Next time I plan to add a little alcohol to make it a dessert.

I really liked this!  The cornstarch really makes it a great consistency.  I made some changes to make it a little lighter:  vanilla soymilk, and half the amount of sugar + stevia.  I also used almond extract.  And topped it off with soy whip!  Thanks for the recipe.

i didn't use the cornstarch or the sugar, but it was still yummy. definitely fixed my chocolate craving! thanks!

Wow, this was awesome and I totally managed to screw it up even....but it was super chocolate-y and oh so satisfying.  I accidentally added way too much cornstarch, so it was thick....like, eat with a spoon thick....but fab nonetheless!  I can't wait to make it again the right way!

Delish!  Seriously this is really good.  The cornflour gives it a rich velvety texture, that makes it taste like what I would imagine proper French hot chocolate would taste like! Oh la la! 


PS I used soy milk as I've never heard of soy creamer in the UK and it was still great!

I made this the other night because I was really in the mood for some chocolate!  I used dark chocolate cocoa powder and it was heavenly.

i feel utterly satisfied and oooooohhhhhhhh my gosh!!  i used 70% dark chocolate and it was divine!!  it reminds me of the Chantico drinking chocolate at Starbucks from a few years back from my pre-veg days.  ohhh, if only i had some dippy cookies.  divine!!

I had it with a slice of leftover apple pie this evening. The texture and thickness are perfect, but make sure you stir enough, because I burnt some in the bottom of the pan. I added a half a teaspoon of mint extract, but it was too much. Perhaps a quarter a teaspoon would be better.

Wow! just finished my first cup. I used coffee instead of water seasoned with vanilla, cayenne pepper and cinnamon. go easy on the pepper. you want to know it's there but you don't want to taste it.

This will be my new bi- monthly treat.

When I lived in Notts, UK, we used to get Soy Dream in a uht carton at Tesco.  I think it was an Alpro/ Provamel product.  Looks like now they have 2 alternatives to single cream.
