Ingredients

  • 1 ounce cocoa nibs
  • 16 ounces whole milk
  • 6 ounces 65-percent to 70-percent bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
  • 3 ounces sugar
  • 2 ounces water
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions

Pulse the cocoa nibs in a spice grinder 3 to 4 times until the nibs are coarsely chopped. Place the nibs in a 1-quart microwave-safe measuring cup and add the milk. Microwave on high for 3 to 4 minutes or until the milk reaches 160 degrees F. Steep at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine the chocolate, sugar, water and salt in the carafe of a 1-liter French press. Set aside.

After steeping, return the nib-milk mixture to the microwave and heat on high for 2 minutes until it simmers or reaches 185 degrees F. Strain the hot nib-milk mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into the French press carafe. Set aside for 1 minute, and then stir to combine the chocolate and milk. Pump the plunger of the French press 10 to 15 times to froth and aerate. Serve immediately.

    Truly sublime. It is full-on chocolate yet creamy and sweet. Well worth the effort.

    Sipping on it now; I have say, it is what I imagine ambrosia to be. You need to strain the nibs, regardless of using a press, or else your drink will be somewhat bitter.

    Solid recipe, I made it with 2% milk the first time - never again, whole milk is a must.
    I like Hot Chocolate creamy and thick, second time around I also replaced the 2 ounces water with 2 ounces of whole milk - It knocked my socks off. This is the real deal here, I paid $9 for 8 ounces of nibs, worth every penny. If you love deep rich chocolate, this is the only way to go.
