Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Chocolate and Flavorings
- 6 oz dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- Cocoa powder (for dusting)
Instructions
- Heat Milk and Cream: In a small saucepan, heat the milk and heavy cream over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture begins to steam but not boiling.
- Melt Chocolate: Add the dark chocolate to the saucepan and stir continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Sweetener: Taste the hot chocolate and if desired, add the sugar. Stir thoroughly until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Add Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour the hot chocolate into mugs and top generously with whipped cream. Dust the whipped cream with cocoa powder for an extra touch of indulgence.
Notes
- Use high-quality dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa) for the best flavor and smooth texture.
- Espresso powder can be added (about 1/4 teaspoon) to deepen the chocolate flavor, but it’s optional.
- Adjust thickness by adding more milk to thin the drink or maintaining the original ratio for a rich, thick consistency.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and temperature.
- Optional sugar can be omitted if you prefer a less sweet or more bitter chocolate taste.
