Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 0.5 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups fresh raspberries
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0 whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- 0 raspberries (optional, for topping)
- 0 grated chocolate (optional, for topping)
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine the fresh raspberries and granulated sugar over medium heat. Mash the raspberries with the back of a spoon while stirring, until they break down and release their juices (about 3-4 minutes). Strain the raspberry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove the seeds; set the raspberry sauce aside.
Step 2
In the same saucepan, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, cocoa powder, and chocolate chips over medium-low heat. Stir constantly until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth and heated through (about 5 minutes). Be careful not to let it boil.
Step 3
Stir the raspberry sauce into the hot chocolate mixture until fully incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and stir to combine.
Step 4
Taste the hot chocolate and adjust the sweetness if desired by adding a bit more sugar.
Step 5
Pour the raspberry hot chocolate into two mugs. Top with whipped cream, fresh raspberries, and grated chocolate if desired.
Step 6
Serve immediately and enjoy!
