Ingredients

Method

• 2 x 100 g slabs good-quality dark chocolate, broken into pieces
• 1-2 cups milk
• 1 cup cream, lightly beaten
• Raspberry macaroons, for serving
For the caramel spoons:
• 200 g sugar

Method

Ingredients

Place a saucepan over a medium to low heat and add a little water. Suspend a glass bowl over the saucepan and add the broken chocolate.

Gently melt the chocolate, then spoon into a separate saucepan. Place over a low heat and add the milk, a little at a time, until you have silky hot chocolate.

Pour into ceramic mugs or glasses and top with the cream. Serve with a stack of pretty pink macaroons and the caramel spoons.

To make the caramel spoons:

Place a saucepan over a high heat and add the sugar. Allow to melt without stirring. When syrupy, remove from the heat and carefully drizzle onto a silicon mat in long spoon-shaped strips. Leave to set then serve with your hot chocolate.
