White Hot Chocolate
How to Sweeten and Warm Up a Cold Wintry Night
It’s a tradition. Every time we’re heading to Dublin’s city centre we treat ourselves with an amazing White Hot Chocolate drink at Butlers chocolate cafe’s.
The idea to start a homemade White Hot Chocolate tradition came during the big freeze. We stayed indoors during those cold weekends. Then we decided to try and make our White Hot Chocolate drink at home.
Brewing your own White Hot Chocolate is quick and simple, and requires very few, basic ingredients. If you are more of a milk chocolate enthusiast, you can replace the the white chocolate with it. If you like you drink to have a hint of coconut flavour, add 1 tsp of desiccated coconut after the chocolate had melted. Sieve the drink when pouring into the mugs. I have to confess, I like to eat the sweet warm coconut after sieving the drink.
Last note: the recipe I present is for two drinks, since part of the fun is to drink it with someone. Otherwise, just divide the portions.
You’ll need:
- 500ml milk
- 100g white chocolate, broken into pieces
- whipping cream
- Milk chocolate flakes or cinnamon powder (optional)
How to:
(1) Pour the milk into a small sauce pan over a medium-high heat
(2) Add the chocolate and bring it to the boil, stirring continuously
(3) Once boiling, remove from the heat
(4) Pour the drink into the mugs
(5) Whip the cream on top of the drink and sprinkle with some chocolate flakes or cinnamon powder. You can sprinkle some coconut as well
Drink responsibly and enjoy the sudden sweetness and warmth!
