Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 5 ounces dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher), finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 0 optional whipped cream or chocolate shavings (for garnish, optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk and heavy cream. Place the saucepan over medium heat and warm the mixture until it begins to steam, but do not let it come to a boil.
Step 2
Reduce the heat to low and add the finely chopped dark chocolate to the saucepan. Stir constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Step 3
Add the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the saucepan. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
Step 4
Continue to heat the chocolate mixture over low heat for 3–5 minutes, stirring frequently. This allows the flavors to meld and the texture to become luxuriously thick (similar to drinking custard or melted chocolate).
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and let it rest for 1–2 minutes to cool slightly and thicken further.
Step 6
Pour the warm chocolate into mugs and garnish with whipped cream or chocolate shavings if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
