At home with a minor bout of flu: chocolate (rated X)

So coffee is off when felled by a bout of flulike symptoms, and judgement is severely impaired. This hot cup of chocolate by Françoise Bernard out of her book of French cooking was the poorest decision I could make, as under normal circumstances I'd criticize this concoction as lethal. But I had a small cup of it anyway. At your own peril...

Hot Chocolate (Rated X from a sane dietary perspective)

Serves 4

130 g dark chocolate
25 cl cream
45 cl whole cream milk
1 vanilla bean pod
4 teaspoons sugar

Scrape the vanilla seeds from the pod. Add every ingredient together to a cooking pot, and bring to a low heat, let the chocolate melt.

When the chocolate has melted, put a lid on this, remove from the heat, and let stand for 15 minutes. Whisk it up a bit.

Notes:
Extremely unctuous and high calory. I even added more milk than said quantity. Still, I couldn't believe this recipe. Serves the quantity of about 4 espresso cups, and luckily for all of us not one drop more.
