Ingredients
- 150 grams dark chocolate (70% cacao or higher)
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
- 1 garnish optional whipped cream or chocolate shavings for garnish
Instructions
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, and granulated sugar.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot, but not boiling (about 5 minutes).
Lower the heat to medium-low and add the chopped dark chocolate to the saucepan.
Stir continuously with a whisk or spoon until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth (about 3-4 minutes).
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
Taste and adjust sweetness, if necessary, by adding a bit more sugar to preference.
Pour the hot chocolate into mugs and garnish with optional whipped cream or chocolate shavings for extra indulgence.
Serve immediately and enjoy the rich, creamy Chocolat Hot Chocolate experience!
