Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 1/2 cup high-quality dark chocolate, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Raspberry Puree: In a small saucepan, gently heat the raspberries over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until they break down and form a thick puree, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds, reserving the raspberry puree.
  2. Heat the Milk and Chocolate: In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, cocoa powder, sugar, and chopped dark chocolate. Warm over medium heat, stirring frequently until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and heated through but not boiling, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add Raspberry Flavor: Stir the strained raspberry puree and vanilla extract (if using) into the hot chocolate mixture, blending well to combine the fruity tang with the rich chocolate base.
  4. Serve: Pour the raspberry hot chocolate into mugs and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with fresh raspberries or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.

Notes

  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less sugar based on personal preference.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond, oat, or coconut milk.
  • Make sure not to boil the milk to prevent burning and curdling of the chocolate.
  • Use fresh raspberries if possible for the best natural flavor, but frozen works well in a pinch.
