Decadent Vanilla Cocoa Cream Delight

Ingredients

- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons malt powder
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped

Instructions

1. Prepare the Milk Mixture
- In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and heavy cream.
- Heat over medium-low setting, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is hot but not boiling (approximately 5 minutes).

2. Incorporate Dry Ingredients
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, malt powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.

3. Combine While Heating
- Gradually whisk the prepared dry ingredient mixture into the heated milk and cream.
- Continue to stir the mixture consistently to prevent lumps, maintaining the temperature just below a simmer.

4. Add Chocolate
- Once smooth, add the chopped chocolate pieces to the saucepan.
- Stir continuously until the chocolate fully melts and integrates, creating a rich and smooth consistency (about 3 minutes).

5. Finishing Touches
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Ensure it's thoroughly mixed.

6. Serve and Enjoy
- Pour the hot beverage into serving cups.
- For an extra touch, top with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of additional cocoa powder, if desired.
