Ready in just 15 minutes, this recipe is a must-try for anyone craving a creative twist on classic hot chocolate.
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.
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.
Stir the raspberry sauce into the hot chocolate mixture until fully incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and stir to combine.
Taste the hot chocolate and adjust the sweetness if desired by adding a bit more sugar.
Pour the raspberry hot chocolate into two mugs. Top with whipped cream, fresh raspberries, and grated chocolate if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
