- Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder
Instructions
- Chocolate Preparation: Melt chocolate in microwave using short intervals, stirring between each burst until silky smooth. Let chocolate cool briefly.

Notes
- Select Chocolate Wisely: Use high-quality chocolate with at least 60% cocoa content for deeper, richer flavor and smoother blending.
- Control Melting Temperature: Microwave chocolate in 15-second intervals, stirring between each to prevent burning and ensure uniform melting.
- Balance Ice Ratio: Add ice cubes gradually to maintain thick, creamy consistency without diluting the chocolate’s intense flavor profile.
- Customize Dietary Needs: Substitute dairy milk with almond, oat, or coconut milk for lactose-free version; use sugar-free hot chocolate mix for low-carb alternative.
