Can you think of a more nostalgic drink than a mug of hot cocoa? This homemade hot chocolate recipe is rich and creamy, with tons of chocolate flavor! You can drink it plain or add my favorite toppings: whipped cream and chocolate shavings.

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the whole milk, heavy cream, and salt. Place over medium-heat and cook just until the mixture comes to a rolling simmer – not a full boil. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add in the chopped chocolate, whisk well until the chocolate is completely melted. Return the saucepan to low heat. Stir in the confectioners' sugar (and vanilla and cinnamon, if using) and cook, whisking constantly, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until super thick and smooth. Ladle into mugs. Garnish with lots of whipped cream and shaved chocolate, if desired. Serve at once!
