Ingredients:
- 5 cups whole milk
- 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or more, to taste)
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- Ground cinnamon (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Pour the whole milk into a medium-large pot and heat over low heat. Make sure to keep the heat low throughout the process to prevent burning.
- Add the sweetened condensed milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and vanilla extract to the milk. Stir regularly.
- Let the mixture simmer gently for about 30 minutes, stirring often to ensure the chocolate and milk don’t burn on the bottom.
- Once the mixture is hot and smooth, transfer whipped cream into a mixing bowl and stir it gently with a spoon to reduce any extra bubbles, making it smooth and creamy.
- Ladle the thick and creamy hot chocolate into mugs and top with the smooth whipped cream.
- Sprinkle ground cinnamon across the top for an added touch of flavor and presentation.
