Steps:
- In a medium mixing bowl, using a hand mixer, whip the chilled cream, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla on high speed until it reaches stiff peaks, about 2-3 minutes. Cover the bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Pour the melted chocolate into a small plate and dip or roll the rim of your mug. Set aside.
- In a heat safe bowl, microwave the heavy whipping cream and chocolate chips together in 30 second intervals, until the cream is steaming hot. This takes me about 1 minute, but it may be longer for you, so stir after each interval to check if the chocolate is melted enough.
- Stir until the mixture comes together to form a thick and silky ganache. Set aside.
- Add the milk, cocoa and vanilla to a medium saucepan and heat over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the cocoa has dissolved.
- Pour in the ganache and continue to stir until the mixture is simmering. Do not boil.
- Pour hot chocolate into mugs. Top with the chocolate whipped cream, a drizzle of melted chocolate, chocolate curls and a chocolate heart candy, if desired. Serve and enjoy!

Steps:
- Bring the liquid almost to a simmer with the salt over medium heat, then remove it from the heat and add the chocolate. Let it rest for 1 minute, then whisk the mixture until chocolate is melted and liquid is smooth. Stir in vanilla and taste it. If you want a stronger, deeper chocolate flavor, whisk in the cocoa. If necessary, reheat the liquid over medium-low heat, stirring.
- If you like it frothy, or the cocoa powder didn't blend in smoothly, blend it in the blender.
- This recipe multiplies easily. When you get up to a quart of milk, use 1/4 teaspoon salt.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better your hot chocolate will be. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 50%.
- Use whole milk or cream. Whole milk or cream will give your hot chocolate a richer flavor and texture. If you are using skim milk, you may want to add a little bit of butter or oil to help thicken it up.
- Sweeten to taste. Some people like their hot chocolate very sweet, while others prefer it less sweet. Add sugar or honey to taste.
- Add flavorings. You can add a variety of flavorings to your hot chocolate, such as vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, or chili powder. Get creative and experiment to find your favorite flavor combinations.
- Top with whipped cream or marshmallows. Whipped cream or marshmallows are a classic topping for hot chocolate. They add a touch of sweetness and creaminess.
