Brazilian Hot Chocolate

Ingredients:

For Cocoa:

• 2 4oz bars of 60-70% bittersweet baking bars/chocolate bars chopped
• 2 cups of whole milk, more if you prefer a less strong cocoa
• 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1/4 c powdered sugar
• 2 sticks of cinnamon
• 1/4-1/2 cup sweet condensed milk

For Garnish:

• freshly whipped cream
• shaved chocolate
• pinch of ground cinnamon

Directions:

Whip the whipping cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Set some aside to use later as a garnish, and add the rest to a large saucepan. 

Over medium heat, bring the whipping cream, milk, and cinnamon sticks to a simmer. Once it is simmering, add the chopped chocolate and whisk until completely melted. Remove the cinnamon sticks and discard.

Whisk in 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk and taste. Add more if you would like the cocoa sweeter. Pour into cups and top with whipped cream, shaved chocolate, and a dash of cinnamon. Enjoy!
