A delicious hot chocolate is one of my ultimate comforts, especially when it’s not so nice outside. While Spring is finally here, and we’ve had some amazing Spring days, there’s a storm heading over NZ so there’s no better time to enjoy an amazing hot chocolate. Nothing beats a sweet, creamy hot chocolate with tons of froth and marshmallows. I’m pretty sure I have discovered the recipe to the perfect hot chocolate, so I thought I’d would share the recipe with you.
Place 1 heaped teaspoon of Cadbury’s Hot Chocolate powder into a third of a cup of milk. Pop it in the microwave for 20 seconds or until it’s a little warm. Place two thirds of a cup of milk into a milk heater and frother (I love my one from Kmart – it’s only $22) and turn it on. Add one tiny drop of vanilla essence to the milk and hot chocolate mixture, before pouring the frothed milk on top. Give it a gentle stir as to not disturb the froth. Add marshmallows (always as many as you can fit in the cup). Sometimes if I’m feeling fancy I’ll add a little grated chocolate on the top too.
This recipe is so easy and adding a drop of vanilla helps to make it extra creamy. You can also use cream in place of the third of a cup of milk for an ultimate indulgence!
