Description
Experience the rich and velvety delight of this Decadent Whipped Hot Chocolate, perfect for warming up on chilly days.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 4 oz dark chocolate, chopped
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- Chocolate shavings (for garnish)
Instructions
- Start by heating the milk and heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it’s warm but not boiling.
- Once warm, add the chopped dark chocolate and sugar into the mix. Whisk continuously until the chocolate fully melts and the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
- Next, stir in the vanilla extract and mix it well to allow the flavors to blend.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly; you don’t want it too hot to handle when whipping.
- Now comes the fun part! Use a hand mixer to whip the chocolate mixture until it becomes light and frothy, creating that decadent texture we all love.
- Pour the whipped hot chocolate into your favorite mugs, and top it generously with whipped cream and chocolate shavings. Enjoy every sip!
