Part 4/5:
Once your milk mixture is simmering, it’s time to add the finely chopped chocolate. Stir continuously and observe the transformation as the color shifts from light brown to a deep, luscious brown. To ensure a smooth blend without clumping, keep whisking for about five minutes after adding the chocolate.
Optional Toppings: Elevate Your Creation
After your hot chocolate is ready, you may wish to enhance it further. While the narrator chose to add whipped cream, feel free to customize as you desire. Options include dairy whipped cream, coconut whipped cream, or even homemade marshmallows. If you are adding toppings, remember to leave space in your mug to avoid overflow.
