Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cup whole milk
  • ½ cup cream
  • 4 ounces dark chocolate bar, finely chopped
  • 3-4 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Add the milk to a small-sized saucepan over medium heat.
  • As soon as the milk is steaming and tiny bubbles appear along the edges of the saucepan, remove from the heat — about 5-8 minutes.
  • Add the chopped chocolate, 3 tablespoons sugar, vanilla, and salt until smooth and completely melted. Taste and add additional tablespoon of sugar now if needed. Allow to sit 1 minute, then stir once more before serving.
  • Pour into mugs and add any desired toppings. Serve and enjoy!
