How to Make El Dorado Hot Chocolate
- In a small saucepan, combine the milk, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt. Whisk until smooth.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, whisking constantly to prevent scorching.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, prepare the burnt caramel. In a separate small saucepan, melt the sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly until it turns a deep amber color. Carefully pour in the heavy cream (it will bubble vigorously!) and whisk until smooth.
- Remove the hot chocolate from the heat and stir in the burnt caramel and Goldschläger. Whisk until well combined.
- Pour into mugs and garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon (optional).
- Enjoy your luxurious El Dorado Hot Chocolate!
