This dish is great for the slow cooker. Cook after combining ingredients. Delicious! This vegetable-filled lentil stew will keep you warm during the winter and all year long. It is spiced with cumin and coriander and flavored with tomato paste. It goes well with a loaf of homemade rustic bread. Vegan and vegetarian diets. Serve with some bread on the side for dipping.

Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 ½ teaspoons brown sugar, or to taste
- 2 ounces dark chocolate (such as Moser Roth® 85% Dark Chocolate), or to taste
- 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream, or more to taste
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon, or more to taste
Instructions
- Heat milk in a saucepan over medium heat until just before boiling, 3 to 4 minutes. Add brown sugar and stir until dissolved, about 1 minute. Stir dark chocolate into milk until melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and stir cream and cinnamon into milk mixture.
- For creamier cocoa, use more heavy cream. I also like to put whipped cream at the bottom of the mug and pour the cocoa over it.

It was delicious ill make it again and again thank you for sharing
Great, whipped it up, yum.
I absolutely LOVE dark chocolate so this is awesome I didnt add heavy whipping cream though. I just used whipped cream and it was still delicious I LOVE ITT
Yum! I happened to have some 85% chocolate so this recipe was perfect. I didn’t have heavy cream so used whipped topping instead. Left out the cinnamon just because I wanted to try the taste of the dark chocolate without it.
It was too thick to drink. I plan to try it again with 1oz of dark chocolate.
Saved as a favorite. Perfect as is. Step it up as you wish.
Great cocoa! Tasted amazing with the touch of cinnamon!!
Perfect. Added a tablespoon of flour for that Haitian touch.
Very awesome! Made one exactly as written (but using 1%-thats what we drink) it was super tasty and rich. The second mug I again used 1% with a teaspoon of honey instead of brown sugar. They were both great.
Rich rich rich. I melted my chocolate in a double boiler. Actually it was a glass bowl over a pan of boiling water. I warmed my milk in a pan with sugar & cinnamon on other burner. Then added it to melted chocolate gradually whisking it in. I never added cream…I had it out but was so impressed with its thickness and richness I never added any cream, I used fat boy milk alias whole milk! That probably made the difference! Numnum Nummy!
Where has this recipe been all my life? I would give this 10 stars if I could. The taste is rich and creamy and tastes like all the good things in life in a mug. I used coconut cream and heavy coconut cream instead of dairy versions. I used whipped coconut cream too. Top this with some cayenne pepper! This will make you hate those cold dreary days a bit less! Thank you Aurora for this heavenly cup of chocolate goodness!
