Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 pinch Salt
- 2 tablespoons Kahlua liqueur
- 0.5 teaspoons Almond extract
- optional (for garnish) Whipped cream
- optional (for garnish) Sliced almonds
- optional (for garnish) Chocolate shavings
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk and heavy cream. Place the pan over medium heat and warm the mixture until it's hot, but not boiling, stirring occasionally.
Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt to the saucepan. Whisk the ingredients together until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Reduce heat to low and let the hot chocolate simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the Kahlua liqueur and almond extract. Mix well to combine.
Pour the hot chocolate into two mugs, dividing it evenly.
Top each mug with whipped cream, sliced almonds, and chocolate shavings, if desired, for an extra indulgent touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy this warm, cozy beverage with someone special!
