Ingredients
Base Ingredients
Toppings (Optional)
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

6. Add Toppings
Top with whipped cream, mini marshmallows, chocolate shavings, and a sprinkle of cinnamon powder as desired.
