Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams dark chocolate (at least 70%)
- 500 milliliters whole milk
- 100 milliliters heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 30 milliliters dark rum or coffee liqueur (optional)
- as desired whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- as desired chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Finely chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, and cocoa powder. Heat over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture is warm and the sugar has dissolved. Do not let it boil.
Reduce the heat to low and add the chopped dark chocolate. Whisk continuously until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Stir in the vanilla extract and, if desired, the dark rum or coffee liqueur. Continue to heat the mixture gently for another 1-2 minutes, ensuring it remains warm but does not boil.
Divide the Chocahol between two mugs. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your decadent, chocolatey treat!
