What's better than steaming hot cocoa on a cold day? It was -10 below when I got up this morning so I think that anyone that has to bear those temps deserves a yummy, comforting cup of hot chocolate....don't you agree? I knew you would. Since it is close to Valentine's Day I decided to add a cute heart marshmallow to the garnish....sweet isn't it? I think I will serve this yummy cocoa to my sweethearts (family) as they sit around the fire tonight. {because I love them so much} You could serve this to your sweethearts on Valentine's Day or it would be cute to serve at Valentine's Day party too :)Hot Cocoa
6 cups milk
9 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
3 ounce milk chocolate, chopped
3 teaspoon granulated white sugar, or to taste (optional)
Whipped Cream:
1 cup cold heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoon granulated white
Place the milk, semisweet chocolate, milk chocolate, and sugar (if using), in a saucepan over medium heat and whisk periodically until the mixture just reaches the boiling point.Pour the hot cocoa into cups and garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and since it is close to Valentine's Day I used a cute marshmallow heart.
Whipped Cream: In your mixing bowl, place the whipping cream, vanilla extract, and sugar and stir to combine. Beat the mixture until stiff peaks form.
