Sweet Hot Cocoa

Ingredients:

60 g El Gato bitter chocolate bar, finely chopped.

2 cups whole milk (or oat milk for a creamy vegan version).

1/4 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for vegan).

2 tbsp raw cane sugar (adjust to taste).

1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract.

Pinch of sea salt.

Handful of mini marshmallows.

A smooth, chocolate-forward cup that turns any winter moment into pure comfort.

Heat the milk & cream:

In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the milk and cream until steaming (not boiling).

1. Melt the chocolate:

Reduce heat to low. Add the chopped bitter chocolate and whisk gently until fully melted and glossy.

2. Sweeten & season:

Stir in sugar, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Continue whisking for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened and silky.

3. Serve & top:

Pour into mugs. Top generously with marshmallows. Let them melt slightly or torch them for a toasted finish

NOTES:

This version is deep, smooth, and unapologetically chocolate-forward, letting your bar’s terroir shine. Perfect for cozy winter moment.
