    Double-Malted Hot Chocolate

    Published Jan 4, 2012

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    glasses of hot chocolate

    My current favorite musical duo, The Two Man Gentlemen Band, have a thing or two to say about cacao-flavored dairy...

    And I'm quite certain that any proper gentleman (or woman) would enjoy this hot version made from whole milk, bittersweet chocolate, malted milk, and whiskey, all whisked together until frothy and smooth.

    jar of powder

    Malted milk has a warm, comforting flavor that you might recognize if you drank Ovaltine as a child (which I found neither warm nor comforting at the time, but now appreciate the way it adds old-school flavor, body and sweetness to this drink.)

    spoonful of powder

    The secret, if you can call it that, to good hot chocolate made with chocolate (rather than cocoa powder) is to whisk the bejeezus out of the milk and the stubborn chocolate in order to combine the two. You could use an immersion blender if you like, but a good thirty seconds of vigorous whisking brings the two components together, and creates a light, sippable texture.

    Use a good bittersweet chocolate and whiskey that you enjoy the flavor of.

    If you do, you might stay up all night long sippin' chocolate milk along with the Two Man Gentlemen Band. (I know I would like to.)

    two glasses of hot chocolate

    Double-Malted Hot Chocolate

    Print Recipe Pin Recipe
    This is the ultimate in homemade hot chocolates!
    Alanna Taylor-Tobin
    Prep Time: 10 minutes
    Total: 10 minutes
    Servings: 2 servings

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup whole milk
    • 1/3 cup bittersweet chocolate wafers (or a chopped bar; 60-70% cacao mass)
    • 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons malted milk powder
    • 2 tablespoons whiskey

    Instructions

    • Heat the milk in a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan, swirling occasionally, until the milk is steaming and small bubbles form around the edges. Remove from the heat, and add the chocolate and milk powder, and whisk like mad until the hot chocolate is slightly frothy and the chocolate is completely incorporated, 30 seconds or so. Stir in the whiskey, pour into small cups, and top with a grating of chocolate.

    Notes

    Do use a good chocolate that you like the flavor of here; Tcho, Scharffen Berger and Valrhona are all excellent choices.
    Malted milk powder can sometimes be found near the ice cream section in markets, I picked mine up in the swoon-worthy bulk section at San Francisco's Rainbow Grocery Co-op.
    The amount of whiskey I use is relatively small and blends with the flavors of the malted milk; add more if you like, though you may need to add more milk powder as well.
    Grate a bit of chocolate over the top with a Microplane.
    Nutritional values are based on one of two drinks.

      You have this under gluten free, but malted milk isn't GF... is there a substitute?

        Oh jeez, thanks for pointing that out! I'll fix that.

        A quick search returned BriesSweet White Sorghum Syrup as a substitute for malt extract. Here's the link: http://www.briess.com/food/Recipes-Apps/dairy.php#mes

    New recipe on TBG today: 🍋 GF lemon poppy seed New recipe on TBG today: 🍋 GF lemon poppy seed cake. It's moist, lofty, tender, and so easy to make.

This is a smol sheet cake (8x8) that you can whip up in under an hour with just one bowl and a whisk. Swipe to see how easy it is to make!

I especially love making this cake with Meyer lemons - so obsessed with their sunny, floral flavor! It pairs beautifully with nutty poppy seeds, which add a bit of crunch and old-world flavor.

Made with some whole grain flours, no gums, and with DF and refined sugar-free options too.

    Sunny GF #lemontart vibes for a dark Friday! 🌝🍋

This is our 🤷‍♀️ day of rain and clouds here in NorCal and I'm definitely craving brightness in all forms, including and especially citrus! 

You can make this golden-hued tart with regular lemons, but I especially love the floral taste of Meyers if you have access to them. 

The bright and tangy lemon curd gets baked in my tender, buttery almond flour tart crust, a reader favorite since I shared it in my cookbook back in 2016. 

Top it with whipped creme fraiche and bee pollen for a dessert that looks like it came from a fancy-pants bakery but is actually super easy to make yourself. 

Stay dry out there, friends!

    Creamy, vegan quiche made with @Hodofoods All-Day Creamy, vegan quiche made with @Hodofoods All-Day Egg Scramble for a vibrant filling loaded with eggy, cheesy vibes! 🌈✨
 
This recipe starts with my flaky gluten-free pie crust and a mess of sauteed veggies. For the filling, just blend #hodoeggscramble with plant milk, corn starch, a bit of maple sugar, and baking powder. The sugar balances the flavor, and a pinch of baking powder gives it a bit of fluff. 
 
Whip one up for a satisfying brunch dish everyone can enjoy! Get the recipe @hodofoods.

    GF DF Lemon Almond Olive Oil Cake ✨ Gluten and GF DF Lemon Almond Olive Oil Cake ✨

Gluten and dairy-laden cakes *wish* they could be as moist and tender as this cake, which gets loads of flavor from fruity olive oil and a meltingly tender crumb from nubby almond flour. 

Nibble slices plain with a cup of tea, or dress up wedges with sugared strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream or coconut cream. 

The cake can be made up to a few days ahead; it just gets better and better as it sits. Feel free to try this cake with other citrus zest and juice, such as Meyer lemon, tangerine, or blood orange.
