Ingredients

2 cup milk
1/2 cup liquid cream
1/2 cup dark chocolate, chopped into small pieces
2 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
12 tsp vanilla extract
A small pinch of salt
Whipped cream for garnish

Instructions

Place the milk, cocoa powder, and sugar in a medium-sized pot, and stir over medium heat using a whisk until the cocoa is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Add the dark chocolate pieces to the mixture, stirring continuously until they are completely melted. Then, add the liquid cream and continue stirring to achieve a creamy texture.
Before removing the mixture from heat, add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, and mix well for a balanced flavor.
Pour the hot chocolate into serving cups, then top with whipped cream.

Notes

Add a dash of ground cinnamon or hot chili powder for a unique flavor twist.

A tiny pinch of salt enhances the natural flavor of the chocolate and adds depth, but don't overdo it to maintain balance.

For a less rich drink, use low-fat milk or almond milk instead of whole milk and cream.

Use high-quality chocolate and chop it into small pieces to ensure easy melting.

A few drops of peppermint extract provide a refreshing flavor for those who love variation.
