Instructions
Make Tiramisu Hot Chocolate
- Roughly chop the dark and milk chocolate, then set aside.

- Whisk in the chopped chocolate, dark cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Continue simmering for ~10 minutes.
- Pour in the espresso, and before turning off the heat, whisk in the heavy cream.
