French Cocoa from Lauren:

5 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate
1 1/2 cups sugar
2/3 cup water
4 cups heavy cream

Bring chocolate, sugar and water to a rolling boil. Boil for 3 minutes, stirring continually. Let chocolate mixture cool to room temperature. Once cooled, fold chocolate mixture into whipped cream (already whipped, no sugar added). If chocolate mixture is too sold to fold into cream, blend 1/4 cup of whipped cream into mixture, then fold chocolate into cream. Refrigerate until use.

To use:

Pour 1/2 cup milk into mug. Microwave for one minute. Add three heaping tablespoons of chilled cocoa mix. Stir. You may need to warm mug for 15 seconds more.

Bon Appetit!
