Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 ounces High-quality semisweet chocolate (60-70% cacao)
- 1.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Chop the semisweet chocolate into small, even pieces and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, and granulated sugar over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar dissolves, and the mixture is warmed through but not boiling.
Lower the heat to medium-low and sift in the unsweetened cocoa powder. Whisk thoroughly to ensure no lumps remain.
Add the chopped semisweet chocolate to the saucepan. Continuously stir with a whisk or rubber spatula until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture becomes thick and smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor. Adjust sweetness if desired by adding more sugar to taste.
Bring the mixture to a low simmer for about 2-3 minutes, stirring gently to prevent scorching. The drink will thicken to a velvety consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly for 1-2 minutes.
Pour the thick drinking chocolate into small serving cups or mugs. Serve warm and enjoy immediately, as this is a rich and decadent treat meant for sipping slowly.
