Heaven In A Cup

In a heavy sauce pan, on medium heat, add the milk, sugar, chocolates, and half-and-half. With a whisk, stir and bring up to heat, but do not let it boil or scald.

Now on to the cream. To the whipping cream, add the vanilla and a dash or two sugar if you like. Then you want to whip the cream, but do not whip it until it’s stiff. Just whip it enough to give it some body, but so it is still pourable.

When chocolate is hot and ready, pour into a nice mug about 3/4 full. Next take the cream and, holding a spoon upside down over your cup, pour the cream onto the top of the spoon and over your chocolate. It will float on the top of the chocolate. Add some chocolate shavings or a little drizzle of chocolate syrup and enjoy!

All sweeteners should be adjusted to suit your own tastes. I don’t add too much, so it might not be sweet enough for some.
