Prepare the base: In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, cocoa powder, and sugar. Whisk together until the cocoa powder is fully dissolved into the cream.
Heat gently: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly to prevent the mixture from burning. Heat until it begins to steam, but do not let it come to a boil.
Add flavor: Once the mixture is warm, add the vanilla extract and salt. Continue stirring until everything is well combined.
Optional step for extra richness: If you want an extra layer of flavor, add the chopped dark chocolate to the mixture and stir until melted.
Adjust consistency: For a thinner texture, add 2 tablespoons of milk, stirring until fully incorporated.
Serve: Remove from heat and pour into small serving cups or mugs. Allow it to cool slightly before serving.
