Ingredients
  

2 cups whole milk

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup toasted hazelnuts, roughly chopped

2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa nibs (optional)

Sprinkling of sea salt for garnish

Instructions
 

Toasting the Milk: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, combine the whole milk and heavy cream. Stir occasionally until the mixture begins to simmer. Lower the heat to medium-low and continue stirring until the milk develops a slightly nutty, toasted aroma, about 10-15 minutes. Be careful not to let it boil over.

    Sweetening the Milk: Once the milk is toasted, add the granulated sugar, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.

      Preparing the Cocoa Mixture: In a separate bowl, mix the cocoa powder with a few tablespoons of the toasted milk mixture. Whisk until smooth to create a cocoa paste. Gradually add this cocoa paste back into the saucepan, whisking continuously to ensure a smooth suspension.

        Marble Effect: Remove the saucepan from heat and allow to cool slightly. Pour half of the toasted milk mixture into a chilled bowl. Gently fold in half of the chopped toasted hazelnuts and cocoa nibs (if using). Pour the remaining toasted milk mixture on top and lightly swirl with a spatula to create a marbled effect.

          Chilling: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set. For best results, chill overnight.

            Serving: Once set, scoop the dessert into individual serving bowls or plates. Drizzle with extra melted chocolate if desired, sprinkle with sea salt and additional toasted hazelnuts on top for extra crunch and flavor.

              Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy the decadently rich and nutty flavors of your Toasted Milk Marble Dessert!
