A delightful and creamy hot chocolate recipe with a hint of vanilla, perfect for cozy evenings.
In a saucepan, combine the cocoa powder and sugar.
Mixing the dry ingredients first ensures an even distribution of cocoa.
Add a small amount of milk to the saucepan and whisk until a smooth paste forms.
Using a small amount of milk initially helps to dissolve the cocoa and sugar completely.
Gradually add the remaining milk while whisking continuously, and heat over medium heat until steaming.
Whisking continuously prevents the milk from scorching and ensures a smooth texture.
Stir in the vanilla extract and remove from heat.
Adding vanilla at the end preserves its delicate flavor.
Pour the hot chocolate into mugs, top with whipped cream, and serve immediately.
Serve in pre-warmed mugs to keep the hot chocolate warm longer.
