The chemist responsible for making this smoother-tasting cocoa powder was — you guessed it — Dutch, notes Hotel Chocolat. That means the chocolate drinks we enjoy are largely due to his genius. (Thank you, Coenraad J. Van Houten!)
Dutch-processed cocoa is a key ingredient to making Dutch hot chocolate taste rich and flavorful and traditional recipes include Dutch cocoa powder, dark chocolate, milk, and even a shot of brandy or rum (per The Spruce Eats). Healthy spoonfuls of whipped cream adorn mugs and sprinkles of cinnamon finish off the drinks.
We'll take Amsterdam Now's suggestion: Dutch hot chocolate is best paired with stroopwafels, classic Dutch waffle cookies that can be set on top of warm mugs to soften inner layers of sweet caramel. Don't say we didn't warn you — if you plan on making a batch of this luxurious hot chocolate at home, count on helping yourself to seconds.
