Aurora Nightfall Cocoa (Magical Teal Hot Chocolate)

☕ Instructions

Warm the milk:
Pour the milk into a medium saucepan and heat over low–medium heat. Stir occasionally and avoid boiling to keep the texture creamy.
Whisk in cocoa & sugar:
Add the cocoa powder and sugar. Whisk until fully dissolved and smooth. Adjust sugar to taste depending on how dark your chocolate is.
Melt the chocolate:
Stir in the chopped dark chocolate and continue stirring until fully melted and the cocoa is glossy and rich.
Flavor it:
Add the vanilla extract and give the cocoa a final stir.
Pour and shimmer:
Pour the cocoa into transparent glass mugs or heat-safe cups to show off the shimmer. Sprinkle a small pinch of edible teal shimmer on top.
Swirl for effect:
Use the tip of a spoon or skewer to gently swirl the shimmer on the surface — it will drift and swirl like aurora waves.
Top it off (optional):
Add a light dollop of whipped cream for a glowing cloud effect and extra indulgence.
Serve warm:
Enjoy immediately while hot and magical.
