Ingredients
- 12 ounces Evaporated milk
- 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate (60% cacao recommended)
- 2 Tbsp Cocoa powder (dark chocolate or Swiss cocoa recommended)
- 2 Tbsp White sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Begin by roughly chopping the bittersweet chocolate and set it aside.
- Place a medium-sized saucepan on medium heat and pour in the evaporated milk. Add the chopped chocolate.
- Continuously whisk the mixture until the chocolate starts melting.
- Gradually add cocoa powder, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt into the saucepan, ensuring they are thoroughly combined.
- Allow the mixture to gently simmer for 8-10 minutes. Keep whisking occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even heat distribution.

- Serve in your favorite mugs, topped with a dollop of whipped cream or a handful of marshmallows for added indulgence.
