Ingredients
1 1/2 cups whole milk
2 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped
4 teaspoons packed light-brown sugar
2 teaspoons unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup cold heavy cream
Preparation
In a saucepan, combine milk, chocolate, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Heat over medium, whisking frequently, until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Let cool. Transfer 1 cup to an ice-cube tray and freeze; refrigerate the rest.
Whip cream to soft peaks. Blend two-thirds of the cream with both chilled and frozen hot chocolate. Divide into two glasses and top with remaining whipped cream.
