Instructions
- 1
In a small saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar, and salt with about 1/4 cup of the milk to form a smooth paste, working out any lumps before adding more liquid.
- 2
Pour in the remaining milk and the heavy cream, then set the pan over medium heat. Whisk frequently and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, about 4 to 5 minutes; do not let it reach a rolling boil or it may scorch.
- 3
Reduce the heat to low and add the chopped semisweet chocolate. Whisk continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and the drink looks glossy and slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.
- 4
Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
- 5
Pour into two warmed mugs and top with mini marshmallows or a swirl of whipped cream. Serve immediately while piping hot.
