Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Whipped cream, for garnish
- 1 cinnamon stick, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the Milk: Pour 2 cups of milk into a saucepan and warm it over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent a skin from forming and to ensure even heating without boiling.
- Add Chocolate and Cinnamon: Add 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the warmed milk. Whisk continuously until the chocolate chips have fully melted and the mixture is smooth and blended evenly.
- Serve: Carefully pour the hot chocolate into mugs. Top each mug with a generous swirl of whipped cream and place one cinnamon stick as a garnish to enhance aroma and presentation.
Notes
- Use whole milk for a creamier texture, or substitute with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
- Adjust the cinnamon to your taste for a milder or stronger spice note.
- For a sweeter drink, add a teaspoon of sugar or honey while heating the milk.
- Make sure to heat the milk gently to avoid scalding and maintain smoothness.
- Whisking continuously ensures the chocolate melts evenly without burning.
