Nothing beats a Warming Rich and Decadent Hot Chocolate on a cold winter day. It may be dark and cold outside, but holding that warm cup, sipping the liquid gold, everything is just better.
Ingredients

Scale
- 150 g dark chocolate, 5 oz
- 1 liter milk, preferably whole milk. 4 cups
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder, more or less to taste
- 1 tbsp sugar, more or less to taste, optional
- 1 tsp vanilla extract, or vanilla bean sugar, optional
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, on low heat, stir the dark chocolate with milk. Once it's melted, add in the rest of your ingredients and increase temperature to medium and whisk until it starts to simmer around the edges.
- I'd suggest adding 1 tbsp of unsweetened cocoa powder, give it a taste - too bitter? Add a little sugar. Not rich enough? Add more unsweetened cocoa powder. Stir in vanilla extract or vanilla bean sugar if you like. Warm up, but not boil.
- Serve with whipped cream or marshmallows, if desired.
