Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the whole milk, heavy cream, and salt. Place over medium-heat and cook just until the mixture comes to a rolling simmer - not a full boil.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and add in the chopped chocolate, whisk well until the chocolate is completely melted.
- Return the saucepan to low heat. Stir in the confectioners' sugar (and vanilla and cinnamon, if using) and cook, whisking constantly, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until super thick and smooth.
- Ladle into mugs. Garnish with lots of whipped cream and shaved chocolate, if desired. Serve at once!
