In a mixing bowl, combine the dark Dutch cocoa powder, powdered sugar, powdered milk, and salt.

Whisk the dry ingredients together until well combined.

Using a fine mesh sieve or sifter, sift the mixture into a separate bowl.

This helps remove any lumps and ensures a smooth consistency.

In a saucepan over medium heat, warm 2 cups of milk (any type you prefer - dairy or plant-based).

Gradually add the sifted cocoa mixture to the warm milk, whisking continuously to avoid lumps.

Continue to whisk until the cocoa is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

Add the shaved white chocolate and shaved chocolate bar to the saucepan.

Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the hot cocoa is velvety and rich.

Once everything is well combined, pour the hot cocoa into your favorite mug.

Optional: Top with whipped cream, marshmallows, or a sprinkle of additional shaved chocolate for an extra indulgent touch.

Grab a cozy blanket, find your favorite spot, and enjoy this luxurious dark hot cocoa!
