Notes

Always use high-quality cocoa powder for the best flavor. For a lighter version, omit the heavy cream and add more milk. Customize your hot chocolate with spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for a festive twist. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of milk if needed. For an ultra-luxurious experience, stir in a tablespoon of melted dark chocolate at the end.
