Instructions
Prepare the chocolate base: In a medium saucepan, combine milk, chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate), sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Heat and stir: Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until the chocolate is melted and the sugar is dissolved. Be careful not to scorch the milk.
Whisk until smooth: Once the chocolate is melted, whisk the mixture vigorously until it is smooth and creamy. This will help to create a velvety texture.
Simmer gently: Reduce the heat to low and simmer the hot chocolate for a few minutes, stirring occasionally. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
Make the whipped cream: While the hot chocolate is simmering, prepare the whipped cream. In a chilled bowl, combine heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
Whip until stiff peaks form: Use an electric mixer to whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip, or the cream will turn into butter.
Serve and garnish: Pour the hot chocolate into mugs and top with a generous dollop of whipped cream. Garnish with chocolate shavings, sprinkles, marshmallows, or a dusting of cocoa powder.
