– Pour the milk and heavy cream into a saucepan and place over medium-low heat. Slowly warm the milk. – While the milk warms up, sift the cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and cornstarch through a sieve and into a small bowl to remove any lumps.
– When the milk is hot, whisk in the cocoa mixture, and continue to heat the milk, whisking constantly. The cornstarch will add body to the cocoa, but be careful that you don’t allow it to cook for too long or it will be too thick.
– Stir in the chopped chocolate and continue to whisk until the hot chocolate reaches your desired consistency. Taste the hot chocolate. – Top the hot chocolate with whipped cream and chocolate shavings, if you wish.
For the Whipped Cream – Chill the bowl and whisk of a stand mixer beforehand in the freezer. – Place the heavy cream into the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment. – Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla and continue to whisk until the cream is soft peaks.
