French Hot Chocolate | Make and Takes

I got this recipe from Make and Takes online...it is wonderful. Made the mousse yesterday and am enjoying a cup of the hot chocolate now after shoveling snow this afternoon. You have got to try this! (BTW, I used mint chocolate chips - yum)

Recipe:
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup corn syrup
1/4 cup water
2 cups whipping cream - very cold (I took mine out of the fridge and put it out in the snow as I gathered up my other ingredients, pans, mixer etc...)

Heat chocolate chips, corn syrup and water in a small saucepan. Cook while stirring until chocolate chips have melted. Set aside to cool.

Beat the cream in a large mixing bowl until it forms peaks. Slowly add teh chocolate sauce in a steady stream while beating. After all the sauce has been added to the cream, beat for a few more seconds until it is thick. Put in the refrigerator until ready to use (it will get thicker). It becomes like a chocolate mousse.

Spoon a bit of the mousse into the bottom of your cup. Add enough hot milk to fill the cup. Enjoy!

Check out Make and Takes website where I found this. Lots of good things on there!
