Preparation

Hot Chocolate Directions

1. Combine Milk and Cream

In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk and heavy cream. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is steaming, but do not let it boil.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

In a small bowl, whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and salt until evenly mixed.

3. Incorporate Dry Ingredients

Once the milk and cream mixture is hot, reduce the heat to low. Gradually whisk in the dry ingredient mixture until fully dissolved and smooth.

4. Add Vanilla

Stir in the vanilla extract and heat the mixture for another minute, ensuring it is warm but not boiling.

5. Serve the Hot Chocolate

Pour the hot chocolate into mugs. Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with chocolate shavings or mini marshmallows according to your preference.
