Instructions

1

Break chocolate into a heatproof bowl and melt over simmering water.

Tip: Ensure bowl bottom doesn't touch water and no steam gets in chocolate to avoid seizing.
2

Mix cocoa powder, honey, and salt into melted chocolate until smooth.

Tip: Salt is a flavor enhancer: suppresses bitterness, making sweet flavors pop.
3

Add milk, cream, and ice to blender, start machine.

Tip: Blend liquids and ice first to ease the load.
4

With motor running, stream in the warm chocolate mixture.

Tip: Continuous motion prevents chocolate from hardening into chunks in cold milk.
5

Blend until uniform and frothy.

Tip: Don't overblend or heat from motor will melt ice.
6

Pour and serve immediately.

Tip: Garnish with extra whip or shavings.

Recipe FAQ

Why did the chocolate clump?
If hot chocolate hits cold milk suddenly, it seizes. Stream it in while the blender is running.
Milk chocolate?
Yes, but reduce honey as it's much sweeter.
