- 100 gram dark or milk chocolate
- 1/2 cup/125ml fresh cream whipped
Instructions
- Add the milk, sugar and cocoa powder to a saucepan and heat on stovetop, on medium heat. You don't want it to boil. Use a whisk and whisk until the cocoa has dissolved
- Break the chocolate into pieces and add it to the milk together with the vanilla essence. Whisk until it is fully melted and turn off the heat
- Pour into mugs and serve with a dollop of whipped cream on top. You can also add some marshmallows on top should you prefer
