For an extra touch of indulgence, top with homemade whipped cream or a sprinkle of cocoa powder. Experiment with different flavorings! A dash of vanilla extract, a pinch of cinnamon, or even a hint of peppermint extract can elevate your hot chocolate to new heights. For a dairy-free version, use almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk. Be sure to select a milk with a neutral flavor to avoid overpowering the chocolate.
