Ingredients
- 120 grams Dark chocolate (chopped, at least 70% cocoa)
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 can Canned coconut cream (chilled overnight)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
1. Begin by preparing the coconut cream topping. Open the chilled can of coconut cream and scoop out the solid cream into a mixing bowl, leaving the liquid behind.
Step 2
2. Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat the coconut cream until light and fluffy. Add the powdered sugar and a pinch of salt, then continue to whip until combined. Set the whipped coconut cream aside in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Step 3
3. In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt over medium heat. Whisk continuously to ensure the cocoa powder and sugar dissolve completely.
Step 4
4. As the mixture begins to steam (but not boil), add the chopped dark chocolate. Whisk gently until the chocolate melts completely and the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 5
5. Stir in the vanilla extract and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding a bit more sugar to taste.
Step 6
6. Pour the hot chocolate into two mugs. Top generously with the chilled whipped coconut cream.
Step 7
7. Serve immediately and enjoy the rich, indulgent flavors!
