ingredients
- 1⁄4 cup 50-55% dark chocolate (chunks or chocolate pieces)
- 3⁄4 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee or 1 teaspoon ground coffee (work well)
- whipped cream, to taste
- 1 1⁄2 fluid ounces dark rum
directions
- Heat milk on the stove at the lowest level until small bubbles appear.
- While the milk is heating, add approximately 1/8 cup of boiling water to the chocolate; stir so that the chocolate becomes thick like a fudge sauce.
- Once the milk is hot enough, add the chocolate to the milk and stir constantly for 5-10 minutes until it changes from a lighter brown to a dark brown colour.
- Remove from heat.
- To serve, place one spoonful of instant coffee in the cup.
- Add one shot of rum and stir to dissolve coffee granules.
- Add the hot chocolate and top with whipped cream (homemade vanilla cream is best!) and chocolate shavings.
