Ingredients

For the Angostura Whipped Cream:

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1 tablespoon

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

6 dashes Angostura bitters

For the Hot Cocoa:

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, such as Valrhona

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Pinch kosher salt

3 cups milk

8 ounces

5 ounces Italian amaro, such as Averna

Directions

Using an electric mixer or stand mixer fitted with the whisk, beat heavy whipping cream at high speed until soft peaks form, then add simple syrup, vanilla extract and Angostura bitters. Whip until medium peaks form, about 1 minute longer.

In medium saucepan, stir cocoa with sugar and salt. Stir in milk and chocolate. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until chocolate is melted and mixture is hot. Gently whisk to completely blend mixture. Add vanilla and amaro and stir to combine. Pour into glasses and top with Angostura whipped cream.
