Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 4 ounces Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher), finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch Salt
• 0 as desired Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
• 0 as desired Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the whole milk and heavy cream. Heat over medium-low heat until warm but not boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped dark chocolate to the saucepan and whisk until fully melted and combined with the milk and cream mixture.

Step 3

Sift the unsweetened cocoa powder into the saucepan to avoid lumps, and whisk it thoroughly to incorporate.

Step 4

Add the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to the saucepan. Whisk continuously until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and let the hot chocolate gently simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld and the texture to thicken slightly.

Step 6

Taste the hot chocolate and adjust the sweetness or cocoa intensity if desired by adding more sugar or cocoa powder to your preference.

Step 7

Pour the hot chocolate into two mugs, dividing it evenly.

Step 8

Optional: Top with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings or a light dusting of cocoa powder for an extra-special touch.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy this indulgent alpine-inspired treat while warm!
