Dark Chocolate Hot Cocoa

Dark Chocolate Hot Cocoa

This dark hot chocolate drink was created when I was craving hot cocoa but I only had dark chocolate on hand. I added cinnamon for a festive touch. Pour into a mug and top with whipped cream or marshmallows, if desired. Serve hot.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 ½ teaspoons brown sugar, or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream, or more to taste
  • 1 pinch ground cinnamon, or more to taste
  • 2 ounces or to taste

Directions

Step 1
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.

Tips

For creamier cocoa, use more heavy cream. I also like to put whipped cream at the bottom of the mug and pour the cocoa over it.
