This dark hot chocolate drink was created when I was craving hot cocoa but I only had dark chocolate on hand. I added cinnamon for a festive touch. Pour into a mug and top with whipped cream or marshmallows, if desired. Serve hot.

Ingredients

1 cup whole milk
1 ½ teaspoons brown sugar, or to taste
2 ounces dark chocolate (70% or more cocoa butter), or to taste
1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream, or more to taste
1 pinch ground cinnamon, or more to taste

Directions

Heat milk in a saucepan over medium heat until just before boiling, 3 to 4 minutes. Add brown sugar and stir until dissolved, about 1 minute. Stir dark chocolate into milk until melted, 2 to 3 minutes.
Remove saucepan from heat and stir cream and cinnamon into milk mixture. Serve hot.

Cook’s Note

For creamier cocoa, use more heavy cream. I also like to put whipped cream at the bottom of the mug and pour the cocoa over it.
