Ingredients
1/2 cup heavy cream
6 oz dark chocolate, chopped (use a bar with at least 70% cocoa for a rich flavor)
1 to 1 1/2 cups whole milk (use 1 cup for thicker hot chocolate, or 1 1/2 cups for a lighter version)
2 tbsp brown sugar (adjust based on your sweetness preference)
1 tbsp vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
Optional holiday spices: a pinch of cinnamon or cardamom (for a festive touch)
Whipped cream, shaved chocolate, or even crushed candy canes (for garnish)

Directions

Before you start, chop the dark chocolate into small pieces for easier melting. Measure out your ingredients and keep them nearby. Using high-quality chocolate will make all the difference in achieving that luxurious flavor.

In a medium-sized saucepan, heat 1/2 cup of heavy cream over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching. Heat until it’s hot but not boiling—watch for small bubbles forming around the edges of the pan. If you accidentally overheat the cream, remove it from the heat and let it cool for a moment before proceeding.

Tip: A heavy-bottomed pan works best to distribute heat evenly and avoid burning the cream.

Reduce the heat to low and add the chopped dark chocolate to the hot cream. Stir constantly with a whisk or a silicone spatula. The chocolate will slowly melt, transforming the mixture into a glossy, smooth base. Patience is key here—don’t rush this step, as high heat can cause the chocolate to seize.

Slowly pour in 1 to 1 1/2 cups of whole milk while stirring continuously. Adding the milk gradually ensures it combines smoothly with the chocolate mixture. Allow the mixture to heat gently over low heat for 2-3 minutes. Avoid letting it boil, as this can alter the creamy texture.

Holiday Twist: For a festive flair, sprinkle in a pinch of cinnamon, cardamom, or even nutmeg at this stage. These spices add warmth and depth, reminiscent of cozy holiday gatherings.

Stir in 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract, and a small pinch of salt. The brown sugar enhances the chocolate with a subtle caramel-like sweetness, while the vanilla and salt bring out the chocolate’s natural richness. Adjust the sugar to taste if you prefer it sweeter or less sweet.

Tip: If you want to add a grown-up twist for holiday parties, a splash of orange liqueur or a drizzle of rosewater can elevate the flavor profile.

Once your hot chocolate is smooth, creamy, and aromatic, pour it into your favorite holiday mug. Top with a generous dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of shaved dark chocolate, or even some crushed candy canes for a pop of peppermint flavor.
