1
Heat the Milk
In a medium saucepan, heat the whole milk over medium heat until it is steaming but not boiling.
2
Add Chocolate
Add the chopped Godiva chocolate to the hot milk and whisk until completely melted and smooth.
3
Crush the Candy Cane
While the chocolate is melting, crush the candy cane into small pieces. You can place it in a plastic bag and use a rolling pin to crush it.
4
Whip the Cream
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. You can add a tablespoon of sugar if you like your whipped cream sweet.
5
Combine and Serve
Pour the hot chocolate into mugs, top with whipped cream, sprinkle crushed candy cane over the cream, and add chocolate shavings on top. Serve immediately.
