Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup (360ml) milk, any kind
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • 6 oz (170g) dark or semi-sweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Whipped cream for garnish, optional

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, heat heavy cream, milk and chocolate on medium heat until just simmering (it should be steamy but not boiling) while stirring frequently. Remove from heat and add vanilla extract, keep stirring until the chocolate is fully melted and incorporated. The mixture at this time should be smooth. Pour into glasses and serve immediately.
  • Garnish with whipped cream and grated chocolate, optional.
