Ingredients
  

Hot Chocolate
  • 5 cups whole milk
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk 397 g
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips 170 g
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract or more to taste
Whipped Cream Topping
  • 1 can whipped cream
  • Ground cinnamon for garnish

Method
 

Hot Chocolate
  1. Transfer the milk into a pot and place it over low heat; keep the heat low the entire time to avoid scorching.
  2. Introduce the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and vanilla extract into the pot.
  3. Stir frequently for at least 30 minutes, making sure the chocolate and milk do not burn on the pot's bottom.
  4. When the mixture is hot, move the whipped cream to a mixing bowl and stir it with a spoon to eliminate excess bubbles, achieving a smooth, glossy consistency.
Whipped Cream Topping
  1. Ladle the thick, creamy hot chocolate into a mug.
  2. Spoon the smoothed whipped cream on top.
  3. Sprinkle a line of ground cinnamon across the mug.
