Ingredients

• 500 ml whole milk
• 60 g dark chocolate, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tbsp sugar, to taste
• ½ tsp Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Salt
• 4 tbsp whipped cream or marshmallows, to serve (optional)

Method

1. Whisk the cocoa and sugar with a splash of the milk in a saucepan to make a smooth paste.
2. Whisk in the rest of the milk and warm over medium heat until steaming, about 4 min. Do not let it boil.
3. Add the chopped chocolate and keep whisking for 2–3 min until it melts and the drink turns thick and glossy.
4. Take off the heat, stir in the vanilla and salt, and pour into mugs. Top with whipped cream if you like.

Tips

• Use oat milk and dairy-free dark chocolate for a vegan cup.
• Contains caffeine from the chocolate, though far less than coffee.
