How to Make Silky Chocolate Drink With Or Without Alcohol

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1/4 cup corn syrup, 1/4 cup water, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Heat over low heat, stirring frequently, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled (at least 2 hours).
  2. In a separate bowl, beat 1 cup heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the chilled chocolate mixture until well combined and the mixture is thick enough to hold its shape. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  3. Heat 6 oz of milk in a saucepan over medium heat; do not boil. Pour the warm milk into an 8 oz mug or glass. Add your desired amount of the chilled chocolate cream mixture. If using alcohol, stir in 1 oz of your chosen liqueur before adding the chocolate cream. Top with a dollop of the remaining chocolate cream and a sprinkle of shaved chocolate. Enjoy!
