Dark Chocolate Hot Cocoa
I concocted this rich dark chocolate beverage when I had a hankering for hot cocoa, but all I had was dark chocolate. I decided to give it a festive twist by incorporating cinnamon. For an extra treat, you can pour it into a mug and garnish with whipped cream or marshmallows, if you like. Serve it piping hot.
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 ½ teaspoons brown sugar, or to taste
- 2 ounces dark chocolate (70% or more cocoa butter), or to taste
- 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream, or more to taste
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon, or more to taste
Instructions
- Heat milk in a saucepan over medium heat until just before boiling, 3 to 4 minutes. Add brown sugar and stir until dissolved, about 1 minute. Stir dark chocolate into milk until melted, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Remove saucepan from heat and stir cream and cinnamon into milk mixture. Serve hot.
