Make the Hot Chocolate
- Chop up the milk chocolate and set aside. Add the whole milk to a pot and bring it to a simmer, being careful not to let it come to a boil. Add the chopped chocolate and whisk it into the milk until it has melted. Mix in the instant coffee and let it continue simmering for 10 minutes. Before turning off the heat, add the heavy cream and vanilla extract.
