Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 4 ounces Semi-sweet chocolate (chopped or chips)
- 2 ounces Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher, chopped or chips)
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
- Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- Shaved chocolate or cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk and heavy cream. Set over medium heat and heat until steaming but not boiling, about 4-5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low, then add the semi-sweet chocolate and dark chocolate. Whisk continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Sift in the unsweetened cocoa powder and stir well to incorporate, ensuring there are no lumps.
Add the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved and the hot chocolate is thick and creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding a little more sugar to your preference.
Remove the saucepan from heat and carefully pour the hot chocolate into mugs.
Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with shaved chocolate or a dusting of cocoa powder if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy this sinfully rich treat!
