2 cups Milk of your choice (full fat, 2%, dairy free)
5 oz. Dark Bittersweet Chocolate, chopped, or 1 cup good quality Bittersweet Chocolate Chips
1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
1/3 - 1/2 (to taste) Maraschino Cherry Liquid
1/3 cup Coffee Liqueur
GARNISHES
Whipped Cream (or dairy free whipped "cream")
1 teaspoon Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
4 Maraschino Cherries with stems patted dry
Directions
Heat the milk in a saucepan over medium-high heat and bring just to a simmer.
Take off the heat and stir in the chocolate, vanilla, and Maraschino cherry liquid until the chocolate is fully melted.
Let the mixture sit off the heat for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Reheat the mixture over low heat until it comes to a simmer, stir in the coffee liqueur and serve with a dollop of whipped cream, a dusting of cocoa powder and a Maraschino cherry.
