Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
- 2 tablespoons dark chocolate shavings
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the whole milk and heavy cream. Heat until just starting to steam, but do not let it boil.
Lower the heat to medium-low and whisk in the dark chocolate chips, cocoa powder, and granulated sugar until completely melted and smooth.
Dissolve the instant espresso powder in 1 tablespoon of hot water, then stir it into the hot chocolate mixture. Add the vanilla extract and whisk to combine.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the hot chocolate sit for 1-2 minutes to slightly cool and thicken.
Pour half of the hot chocolate into each serving mug, filling about 3/4 of the way to the top.
Create the first layer by drizzling chocolate syrup over the top of the hot chocolate in each mug.
Spoon whipped cream generously over the chocolate syrup, creating the second layer.
Finish with a sprinkle of dark chocolate shavings as the third layer for added texture and flavor.
Serve immediately with a spoon or sipping straw for maximum enjoyment.
