Notes
- Please note that the calorie information was calculated before any toppings were added.
- Don’t boil it: Since you’re using milk and heavy cream, don’t let the mixture boil. You don’t want it to separate or burn!
- Use quality ingredients: It’s important to use good-quality cocoa and chocolate for the best results, especially since there are so few ingredients needed.
- Add salt: Don't forget to add sea salt as it really enhances the overall chocolate flavor.
