Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480ml) whole milk
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup (85g) dark chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

  • Whipped cream (optional)
  • Chocolate shavings or sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups (480ml) of whole milk and 1/2 cup (120ml) of heavy cream. Heat over medium heat until it’s warm but not boiling, stirring occasionally.
