Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 500 milliliters Whole milk
- 100 milliliters Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Dark brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Dark rum
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
- Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Finely chop the dark chocolate and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, and dark brown sugar. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is just about to simmer.
Remove the saucepan from heat and add the chopped dark chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Return the saucepan to low heat and whisk in the vanilla extract and dark rum. Heat gently for another minute or two to ensure everything is warmed through, but do not let it boil.
Divide the hot chocolate between two mugs and, if desired, top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy the luxurious warmth of this indulgent treat.
