This is just amazing...
Lushious Chocolate Mix.
This recipe
makes a good present, mix up all the ingredients and pop into a clean jam jar
with some marshmallows or even some Maltesers and a label with instructions and
add a pretty ribbon.
2
tablespoons Horlicks (malted milk drink)
2
tablespoons cornflour (cornstarch)
3
tablespoons icing sugar
4
tablespoons cocoa powder
100g dark
chocolate, finely grated
1 pinch
ground cinnamon
1 pinch sea
salt
The mix
keeps really well in an air tight tub so make up a batch and then use it as and
when you need it. For an individual mug
of hot chocolate with half a pint of milk use 5 heaped teaspoons of the
mixture.
Pour the
milk into a saucepan and bring almost to the boil then spoon the chocolate mix
into the hot milk, give it a whisk and leave to simmer in the saucepan for a
couple of minutes before serving – it will come together as a nice thick gloopy
consistency.
Serve as is
or top with whipped cream, marshmallows and a couple of Maltesers or a
sprinkling of grated chocolate.
Ring the
changes by using milk or white chocolate in the mixture instead of dark
chocolate you could even use grated Caramac for a caramel flavour drink.

ReplyDeleteDo you have an epic Egg Nog recipe? Can't find the one we used to have as a kid & all the recipes are starting to blur together.
ReplyDeleteHi Cherie - we don't really 'do' egg nog in the UK but I love the idea of it so I have posted on the Kitchen Witch facebook page and asked for recipes
