Ingredients

(Serves 2)

  • 400ml whole milk (or your preferred milk alternative)
  • 100g Prestat 38% Milk Chocolate Flakes
  • 1-2 whole cloves (or ¼ tsp ground cloves)
  • 2 Prestat Dark Rum Truffles
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar (optional, for added sweetness)
  • Whipped cream (optional, for serving)
  • Dark chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)

Method

  1. Infuse the Milk
    In a small saucepan, gently heat the milk over medium heat. Add the whole cloves (or ground cloves) and let the milk slowly warm up. You want the milk to become infused with the subtle spice of the cloves without boiling, so keep an eye on it and stir occasionally.

  2. Melt the Chocolate
    Once the milk is warm and infused (about 5-7 minutes), remove the cloves if you used whole cloves. Reduce the heat to low, and stir in the Prestat 38% Milk Chocolate Buttons until they melt into a smooth, velvety mixture.

  3. Add the Truffles
    Gently drop in the Prestat Dark Rum Truffles and stir until they melt completely, adding a boozy, indulgent depth to the hot chocolate.

  4. Sweeten (Optional)
    Taste the hot chocolate, and if you prefer a sweeter drink, add the brown sugar and stir until dissolved.

  5. Serve and Garnish
    Pour the spiced hot chocolate into mugs. For extra indulgence, top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of dark chocolate shavings. Serve immediately and enjoy the rich, warming flavours.
