Ingredients
- 120 grams dark chocolate (70% cacao or higher)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 240 milliliters whole milk
- 120 milliliters heavy cream
- 2 cups ice cubes
- 1 serving whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
- 1 serving dark chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine the unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and 120 milliliters of whole milk over medium heat. Stir until the cocoa powder and sugar are fully dissolved, and the mixture is smooth.
Add the chopped dark chocolate to the saucepan and cook on low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is thick and velvety. Remove from heat and let it cool for 5 minutes.
In a blender, combine the remaining 120 milliliters of whole milk, heavy cream, the cooled chocolate mixture, and ice cubes. Blend on high speed until smooth and slushy in texture.
Pour the frozen dark hot chocolate into two glasses.
