How To Make The Best Hot Chocolate At Home?
Chop the chocolate into small pieces so that they dissolve faster. Keep this aside.
¼ cup Milk chocolate
In a saucepan on medium heat, add milk, sugar, heavy cream, and cocoa powder, and whisk until warm and lump-free.
2 cups Whole milk, 2 tablespoon Sugar, ¼ cup Heavy cream, 2 tablespoon Cocoa powder
To this, add vanilla extract and chocolate and keep whisking until the chocolate is melted completely and it comes to a light boil.
½ teaspoon Vanilla extract, ¼ cup Milk chocolate
TO PREPARE WHIPPED CREAM:
In another bowl, add heavy cream (preferably cold) and sugar. Whisk for a minute using a hand-held beater. Now add vanilla extract and whisk until soft peaks are formed.

Want it richer? Substitute ¼ cup of milk with an equal portion of heavy cream. Thus, the recipe will have 1.75 cups of whole milk and 0.5 cups of heavy cream.
