Chef's tip
Use the same volume. Baking behavior varies by blend: some brown faster or stay softer, while others brown less. Follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
1 cinnamon stick
¼ tsp vanilla extract
1 pinch salt

Instructions

1
Combine the milk and cinnamon stick in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the milk is steaming and small bubbles form around the edges, about 4–5 minutes. Do not let it boil.
2
Add the chopped dark chocolate, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt. Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and uniform, about 2–3 minutes.
