- Whisk in 3 Tbsp. cocoa powder until no lumps remain, then add milk and return to a simmer.
- Whisk in chocolate and sugar and cook, whisking frequently, until mixture is smooth and creamy and chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes.

- Top with whipped cream and dust with cocoa powder.
- You can also add a splash of heavy cream just before serving.
(You can also add a good amount of marshmallow to give best taste to your self-made hot chocolate)
