Ingredients
- 1.55 ounces Hershey's milk chocolate bar chopped
- ½ cup whole milk
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon coffee
TOPPING: (optional)
- 2 tablespoons mini marshmallows
- pinch of unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine cocoa powder, brown sugar, and coffee.
- Pour milk and cream over the cocoa powder mixture. Stir until well combined for 5 minutes.
- Over the stovetop to very low heat and continue to stir until the hot chocolate mixture starts to heat up without allowing it to simmer or boil, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add chopped chocolates. Continue stirring for 2 minutes or until the chocolates are completely melted. Turn off the heat. Cool for 1 minute and transfer hot chocolate to a serving glass.
- Top with mini marshmallows and dust with cocoa powder.
Notes
Heat should be very low at 140°F (60°C).
Continue stirring to avoid milk and cream from curdling.
Unsweetened cocoa powder is used to deepen the chocolate flavor.
Coffee is added to heighten the chocolate flavor. I use extra strong instant coffee.
This is a very large serving and can easily be enjoyed by two.
