Preparing Creamy Hot Chocolate

Place the saucepan on the heat and bring to a boil (it will take about 3 minutes), continue stirring with the whisk and add the chopped chocolate, mix to melt it well and when our creamy hot chocolate has reached the desired consistency, turn off the heat. Pour into cups and enjoy your creamy hot chocolate.
