Although this recipe was created for preparation in a microwave, I prepared mine using the stove top. Microwaves are notoriously finicky. And then there was the issue with the egg. For all those that had an issue with "scrambled" egg, be sure to "temper" the egg first. For all those bakers and cooks who don't know...tempering an egg is done by adding the hot liquid of the recipe to the egg a little at a time until the egg is warm enough to throw in and not scramble it in the process.

Best hot chocolate ever... I doubled this recipe and didn't use egg. I also used semisweet chocolate chips mixed with dark chocolate chips melted in microwave and then stirred into the 2% milk warming on the stove. Whisked constantly until hot. Served, topped with whip cream and grated Ghiradellie 60% cocoa sprinkled on whip cream. Cinnamon is what makes this recipe. Again don't use the egg.

This is the best homemade hot chocolate I've ever had! I did this on the stove because I don't like using a microwave, and it was perfect. I also used chocolate chips which melted just fine in the warm milk. SUPER YUMMY!

Wonderful! Instead of mixing the egg into the chocolate mixture, it works well to mix just a little of the warm chocolate mixture in with the egg. Whisk well, slowly adding more and more hot chocolate with the egg. Then when you add the egg mixture to the hot chocolate it won't be lumpy. We made it on the stove top and it worked great. It's nice to have an after school snack with some extra protein. Thanks, Steph!

I used two and a half cups of skim milk, a cup of cream, six squares of chocolate and added a little chili powder and a little vanilla. I omitted the egg. An excellent base, though, for alterations.
