Finely chop the dark chocolate and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, heat the whole milk and heavy cream over medium heat until steaming but not boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
Reduce the heat to low and add the chopped dark chocolate and granulated sugar to the milk mixture. Whisk continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Stir in the brewed espresso, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder. Continue whisking until fully incorporated and heated through.
Pour the hot mocha truffle mixture into two mugs.
Top each mug with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
Garnish with optional chocolate shavings or curls for an extra touch of decadence.
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy!
