Some like it rich!! I tried this recipe from Bon Appetit and it was delicious!
Ingredients
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1 cup chilled heavy cream, divided
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 large pinch of kosher salt
- 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
- 5 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate (do not exceed 72% cacao), chopped
- 1/3 cup (loosely packed) natural unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 pints peppermint or mint chip ice cream
Preparation
Combine milk, 1/2 cup cream, sugar, salt, and 1/4 cup water in a large heavy saucepan. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Add chocolate and cocoa powder; whisk until chocolate melts and mixture just comes to a boil.
Whisk remaining 1/2 cup cream in a small bowl until firm peaks form.
Remove vanilla bean from hot cocoa; discard. Transfer cocoa to a blender and purée until thick and foamy, about 2 minutes.
Scoop ice cream into teacups; pour hot cocoa into cups, dividing evenly. Top each with a small dollop of whipped cream.
