Ingredients
- 2 cups Milk
- 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
- 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- Whipped Cream for topping
- Chocolate Shavings for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of milk, 1/2 cup of heavy cream, 1/2 cup of chocolate chips, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, whipped cream for topping, and chocolate shavings for garnish.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the 2 cups of milk and 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Place the saucepan over medium heat.
- Heat the milk and cream mixture, stirring occasionally, until it is warm but not boiling. This should take about 5 minutes.
- Once the mixture is warm, add the 1/2 cup of chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Stir continuously until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- After the chocolate has melted, stir in the 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Continue to heat the mixture for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring it remains warm and well combined.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat once the hot chocolate is smooth and creamy.
- Pour the Grand Indulgence Hot Chocolate into two mugs, filling them generously.
- Top each mug with a generous dollop of whipped cream, allowing it to create a fluffy layer on top of the hot chocolate.
- Finally, sprinkle chocolate shavings over the whipped cream for an elegant garnish.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your rich and indulgent hot chocolate!
Tips
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for the most luxurious flavor profile
- Stir continuously while melting chocolate to prevent scorching
- Keep the heat medium-low to ensure smooth, creamy texture
- For extra richness, use whole milk or add an extra splash of heavy cream
- Experiment with flavor additions like a pinch of cinnamon or a dash of espresso powder
- Serve immediately for the best temperature and texture
- Pre-warm your mugs with hot water to keep the hot chocolate at optimal temperature longer
- For a gourmet touch, use freshly shaved chocolate from a chocolate bar instead of pre-made shavings
