This recipe comes from Cassandra at DURĆI Chocolate. The secret to exceptional hot chocolate is starting with exceptional chocolate. Add a drop or two of peppermint extract and finish with a peppermint stick for a festive twist. For a little heat, add cinnamon and a pinch of cayenne. Or turn it into a fireside treat with a toasted marshmallow and crushed graham cracker on top.
1. Warm the milk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until hot and steaming; do not bring to a boil. Place chopped chocolate in a heatproof mug or bowl and pour hot milk over. Let sit for 30 seconds, then whisk or stir until chocolate is completely melted and thoroughly mixed in.
2. Stir in a splash of vanilla and a pinch of sea salt. Serve immediately, topped with whipped cream.
