Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 2 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup unsweetened canned coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
Chill the canned coconut cream in the fridge overnight. This helps the cream separate from the liquid.
Scoop out the solid portion of the chilled coconut cream into a mixing bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar and whip with a hand mixer until light and fluffy. Set aside in the fridge while preparing the hot chocolate.
Finely chop the dark chocolate and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, and granulated sugar. Heat until the mixture is hot but not boiling, whisking occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
Remove the saucepan from heat and add the chopped dark chocolate. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes to melt, then whisk until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the pure vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt for added depth of flavor.
Divide the hot chocolate evenly between two mugs.
Top each mug with a generous dollop of whipped coconut cream.
Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder, chocolate shavings, or toasted coconut flakes.
Serve immediately and enjoy this rich, creamy indulgence!
