This four-ingredient hot chocolate will up your hot cocoa game. More than just powder and milk, the addition of dark chocolate gives our version a rich and creamy flavor that everyone will love! Dutch-process cocoa powder adds decadent richness, but the recipe will still taste wonderful if using natural cocoa powder. Topping it with organic homemade whipped cream and a sprinkling of milk chocolate shavings adds the finishing touch.
