This Italian-style hot chocolate is the ultimate cup of creamy, rich goodness. It's so easy to make and absolutely one of our all-time favorite chocolate recipes. Serve it in small cups with softly whipped cream for a decadent treat.
Yield: 2-6 servings, depending on cup size
Put the milk in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
While the milk is heating, sift the sugar and cocoa powder over a small bowl — a mesh strainer works well. Add the salt and whisk to blend.
Add the cocoa mixture, vanilla and chocolate to the milk over low heat. Whisk until the chocolate is melted, about 1 minute, until the mixture thickens.
Divide the hot chocolate into small cups (it's very rich!). Serve with a spoonful of whipped cream on top, if you like.
