Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 4 oz Semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp Granulated sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
- Whipped cream (optional, for topping)

Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the whole milk and heavy cream. Heat over medium-low heat until the mixture is warm but not boiling, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and add the semisweet chocolate chips. Stir constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Sift in the cocoa powder and add the granulated sugar. Continue stirring to combine all the ingredients thoroughly and dissolve the sugar.
Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, and stir well to enhance the flavors.
Increase the heat slightly and let the mixture gently simmer for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent scorching. Do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the hot chocolate into two mugs.
Top each mug with whipped cream, shaved chocolate, or marshmallows, if desired, for an extra decadent finish.
