Ingredients

2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
1 pinch Salt
1 cup Water
3 cups Whole milk
1 cup Heavy cream
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
0 Whipped cream (optional)
0 Chocolate shavings (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

Step 2

Add 1 cup of water to the saucepan and place it over medium heat. Whisk constantly until the mixture comes to a gentle simmer, ensuring the cocoa and sugar dissolve completely. This will take about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Gradually pour in the whole milk and heavy cream, stirring constantly to prevent scorching. Heat the mixture until it is hot but not boiling, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract for added depth of flavor.

Step 5

Ladle the creamy cocoa into mugs and top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings, if desired.

Step 6

Serve immediately and enjoy this comforting treat!
