Ingredients
- 1.75 ounces of 72% dark chocolate (47 grams)
- 2 cups milk of choice
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Whipped cream for serving
Instructions
- Chop up ~1.75 ounces of a small chocolate bar into small pieces.
- In a small saucepan, combine all ingredients and heat on medium, whisking while it heats to incorporate the chocolate and spices. Once chocolate is melted and the mixture is lightly simmering, take it off the heat.
- Divide into two mugs and top with whipped cream. Serve immediately.
Notes
Nonfat milk is not recommended for this recipe as it will be quite thin. I enjoy it best with unsweetened almond milk or 1-2% cow's milk.
I use the Trader Joe's 72% small bars for this, which is the perfect amount for this recipe. Alternatively, estimate 1.5-2 ounces of your favorite chocolate based on the amount in the package.
