Hot chocolate isn’t just for children. This decadent chocolate drink can be taken up a couple of notches and turned into the most delicious grown up version of the old classic.
The most important ingredient is a really good dark chocolate. Once melted into the hot milk, makes a rich and sumptuous drink. I add a few extra little touches and “Hey Presto!” Grown up Hot Chocolate.
Ingredients:
- Half a large bar of good quality dark chocolate
- 1 pint of full fat milk ( I use goats milk)
- A pinch of cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- A shot of brandy
- Squirty cream
- Marshmallow to serve
Method:
- First break up the chocolate into small pieces.
- Pour the milk into a pan and heat up. Before it boils add the chocolate to the milk.
- Stir until the chocolate has melted into the milk and is completely combined.
- Now add the cinnamon and cayenne pepper.
- Stir it all together and take off the heat.
- Add the Brandy and stir together.
- Pour into your favourite cup and top with the squirty cream and marshmallows.
- Enjoy
