Base Ingredients

Toppings (Optional)

Method

Preparation

1

Heat the Milk and Cream

In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of whole milk and 1 cup of heavy cream. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally.

2

Mix Cocoa and Sugar

In a separate bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar together. This will help to prevent clumping.

3

Combine Ingredients

Once the milk and cream mixture is hot, whisk in the cocoa and sugar mixture along with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Continue to whisk until everything is fully combined and smooth.

4

Heat Thoroughly

Keep heating the mixture on low for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. Do not let it boil.

5

Serve Hot
