Italian Hot Chocolate Recipe

Combine whole milk and heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat.

Heat the mixture until it begins to steam, stirring occasionally.

Chop dark chocolate into small pieces and add to the saucepan.

Stir until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.

In a separate bowl, mix sugar, cornstarch, and salt.

Gradually add the dry mixture to the chocolate mixture, whisking constantly.

Continue to cook for 3-5 minutes, until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency.

Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.

Pour the hot chocolate into mugs.

Top with whipped cream before serving.
