Notes
- Avoid boiling the mixture to prevent the dairy from separating or burning.
- Use good-quality cocoa powder and chocolate to enhance the richness and depth of flavor.
- Adding a pinch of sea salt elevates and balances the chocolate flavor.
- Top with whipped cream, caramel sauce, or marshmallows for a richer experience.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and warmth, as reheating may affect consistency.
