Preparation

In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, sugar and cocoa powder.
Heat over medium heat, whisking now and then, until small bubbles appear around the edge and a little steam rises. Do not let it boil.
Remove from the heat. Add the chocolate and vanilla, then whisk until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Pour into 4 mugs. Top generously with whipped cream, then sprinkle with grated chocolate and chocolate shavings. Add mini marshmallows, if you like.
