• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt
• Optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions

1. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, and salt until well combined.

   In a separate large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and whole milk. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, whisking until smooth and the sugar is dissolved.
3. Add Flavor:
