6 servings
- 4 cups 2% milk (whole milk, or non-dairy milk of choice (I do not recommend skim, as it will be watery))
- 8 ounces semi-sweet or dark chocolate (chopped (50 to 60 percent))
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (plus additional to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon espresso powder or instant coffee (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Steps
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, chocolate, cocoa powder, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and espresso powder.
Heat over medium, whisking frequently, until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Do not let the mixture boil and whisk often.
Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Taste and add additional sugar 1 teaspoon at a time until your desired flavor is reached (if you are using chocolate closer to 60%, you may want one or 2 teaspoons more). Enjoy immediately, or transfer to a slow cooker to keep warm.
