Milk Chocolate and Orange Cocoa

hot chocolate with milk chocolate and orangeMilk chocolate with a strong orange punch. Sweetened whipped cream tops it off. You could use a semi-sweet chocolate for a bolder taste instead of milk chocolate.

1/3 cup whipping cream, chilled
1 tsp brown sugar
4 1/2 cups milk
4 large oranges
9 oz milk chocolate, chopped
2 tbs unsweetened cocoa powder

Whip cream with the brown sugar until stiff peaks form. Chill for later. In a saucepan, combine milk and zest from oranges. Heat to a simmer and remove from heat. Let sit for 30 minutes, covered.

Strain out the milk mixture, then bring liquid to a simmer again. Add chopped chocolate and cocoa powder. Whisk until melted and smooth. Serve and top with sweet whipped cream.
