Ingredients
- 4 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 optional (for garnish) whipped cream
- 1 optional (for garnish) chocolate shavings
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the whole milk and heavy cream. Place the saucepan over medium heat and heat the mixture until warm but not boiling, approximately 3-4 minutes.
Step 2
Whisk in the unsweetened cocoa powder and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and the cocoa and sugar are fully dissolved.
Step 3
Lower the heat to medium-low and add the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Stir continuously with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula until the chocolate chips are fully melted and incorporated, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the pure vanilla extract.
Step 5
Taste the hot chocolate mixture. If you prefer it sweeter, add more sugar one teaspoon at a time, stirring well after each addition, until your desired sweetness is reached.
Step 6
Pour the hot chocolate into mugs and top with optional whipped cream and chocolate shavings for a luxurious finish.
Step 7
Serve immediately and enjoy your Chocolate Cocoa Deluxe!
