-
In a saucepan heat the milk, sugar, cocoa, chocolate and salt over a medium heat until the chocolate is melted. Stir continuously.
-
In a bowl, add your egg yolk and a bit of the warm mixture to heat up the egg. This prevents the egg from coagulating when added to the warm mixture.
-
Once the egg has been warmed, whisk it into the remaining hot chocolate.
-
Continue cooking the hot chocolate over a medium heat for 5 min. Stir continuously to prevent it from burning.
- Pour into a mug and enjoy!
