Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Heat the Milk and Cream

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the whole milk and heavy cream. Stir continuously until the mixture is warm but not boiling, approximately 5 minutes.

    Add Cocoa and Sugar

    Once the milk and cream are warm, add the granulated sugar and unsweetened cocoa powder. Whisk the mixture until fully dissolved and combined, about 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Vanilla

    Stir in the vanilla extract and remove the saucepan from heat. Taste and adjust sweetness or cocoa as desired.

Serving

  1. 4

    Pour and Serve

    Pour the hot chocolate into mugs. Top with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and marshmallows as desired. Sprinkle a dash of cinnamon powder on top for an extra flavor kick.
