When it comes to your HOT CHOCOLATE . . . 🍫Are you TEAM MARSHMALLOW or TEAM WHIP CREAM 😋

For the most decadent hot chocolate . . . you'll need:

3 oz of grated high quality dark chocolate (I really like Lindt)

2 cups whole milk

1 heaping TB of Dutch cocoa powder

2 TB sugar (I like brown sugar)

1/2 TS of pure vanilla extract

2 TS cornstarch

pinch of salt

Optional toppings: cocoa powder, chocolate shavings, whip cream, marshmallows

Bring it all together:

To a pot, whisk together the grated chocolate, cocoa powder, sugar, cornstarch & pinch of salt.

Whisk in the whole milk and set to medium heat. Stir frequently while the mixture comes to a gentle simmer. Don't let it boil.

Once the mixture comes to a gentle simmer, stir in the vanilla extract & turn down the heat to low. In a few minutes, it will thicken.

Taste the hot chocolate to see if it needs more sugar.

Pour the hot chocolate into your favorite mug and choose your toppings.
