MAKES: 4 servings
INGREDIENTS:

• 3 cups low-fat milk (or whole milk)
• 1 (14 ounce) can fat free evaporated milk
• 1/2 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk (2/3 cup)
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 ounces chocolate liqueur
• chocolate whipped cream (from a can)
• 1/4 cup chocolate shavings, made up ahead

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a medium saucepan combine the low fat milk, evaporated milk, and sweetened condensed milk.
2. Bring to a simmer over medium low heat, stirring occasionally.
3. Whisk in cocoa powder until well combined and no lumps are present.
   Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and the chocolate liqueur. You may add more sugar if desired.
4. Serve in cups topped with the chocolate whipped cream and chocolate shavings.

TIP:

• When you have some time take a few mins and several ounces of bittersweet chocolate that are at room temp and use a vegetable peeler to make chocolate shavings. They will keep, tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to six months.
• Nice to have on hand of quick garnishing.
