How to make it
4 steps. Take it one step at a time.
Heat the 500ml of milk
In a small saucepan, heat the 500ml (2 cups) of milk over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Do not let it boil.
3 minWhisk in the 100g of chopped dark chocolate and 1 tbsp of brown sugar
Whisk in the 100g (3.5 oz) of chopped dark chocolate and 1 tbsp of brown sugar. Continue whisking constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
2 minReduce heat to low and simmer
Reduce heat to low and simmer for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to deepen and the texture to thicken. Stir in 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
3 minPour into small cups
Pour into small cups and serve immediately while hot. Top with whipped cream if desired.
A little kitchen wisdom
For the best results, use high-quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa. If you prefer it even thicker, whisk in a teaspoon of cornstarch mixed with a little cold milk while simmering.
