Peppermint Hot Chocolate

This hot chocolate is to die for! make sure that you make it with the best quality chocolate that you can find. My top 3 favorites are: Callebaut, Valhrona, or Guittard.

Serves 2:
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1-2 tablespoons sugar
4 ounces chopped semi sweet or dark high quality chocolate
​1/2 teaspoon pure peppermint extract
whipped cream
​crushed candy cane (garnish)

​Combine the milk, cream, and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer.
​Remove from heat and add chopped chocolate and peppermint extract. Stir until the chocolate melts.
​Pour into 2 warm cups and dollop with homemade whipped cream. Sprinkle some crushed candy cane over the whipped cream.
Serve immediately.

​Enjoy!
