Ingredients
Scale
Milk Base
- 2–3 cups whole milk
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
Chocolate Mixture
- ½ cup high-quality cocoa powder
- 1–2 tablespoons grated milk chocolate
Additional Ingredients
- 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
- ⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings
- Whipped cream
- Ground cinnamon
- Chocolate shavings (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the milk base: Pour 2-3 cups of whole milk and ½ cup of heavy cream into a medium-sized heavy-bottomed saucepan. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is steaming and tiny bubbles form around the edges. Be careful not to let it boil, as boiling can scald the milk and impart an unpleasant flavor.
- Prepare chocolate mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup cocoa powder and 1-2 tablespoons of grated milk chocolate. Slowly add about ½ cup of the hot milk mixture to this bowl and whisk until smooth and lump-free, ensuring a creamy chocolate blend.
- Combine ingredients: Gradually pour the chocolate mixture back into the saucepan while whisking constantly. Add the entire 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk and ⅛ teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whisk the mixture until it is completely combined and smooth.
- Final simmer: Reduce the heat to low and let the hot chocolate simmer gently for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently. The mixture should thicken enough to coat the back of a spoon. Taste and adjust the thickness by adding more milk if desired.
- Serve immediately: Ladle the hot chocolate into heat-resistant mugs. Top with a generous dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of ground cinnamon, and optional chocolate shavings. Serve hot for the true Disneyland hot chocolate experience.
Notes
- Do not let the milk mixture boil to avoid scalding and altering the flavor.
- Adjust the thickness by adding more milk to suit your preference.
- Use high-quality cocoa and milk chocolate for the richest flavor.
- Whipped cream and cinnamon enhance the overall taste and presentation.
- Chocolate shavings are optional but add an extra touch of indulgence.
