Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 4 oz dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher), finely chopped
- 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 package Tim Tam cookies
- whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
- chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the whole milk and heavy cream. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is warm but not boiling.
Add the finely chopped dark chocolate, unsweetened cocoa powder, and granulated sugar to the saucepan. Whisk continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Once the chocolate has melted, stir in the vanilla extract. Reduce the heat to low and let the hot chocolate simmer gently for 1–2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully pour the hot chocolate into two mugs.
If desired, top the hot chocolate with whipped cream and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings for an extra touch of decadence.
Serve with a package of Tim Tam cookies on the side for dipping. For a classic 'Tim Tam Slam', bite off opposite corners of the cookie, use it as a straw to sip the hot chocolate, and then enjoy the softened treat!
