Ingredients

(Serves 2)

• 400ml whole milk (or your preferred milk alternative)
• 100g Prestat 38% Milk Chocolate Flakes
• ¼ tsp freshly grated nutmeg (or ground nutmeg)
• 2 Prestat Milk Almond Truffles
• 1 tbsp sugar or honey (optional, for added sweetness)
• Whipped cream (optional, for serving)
• Grated nutmeg (optional, for garnish)

Method

1. Heat the Milk
   In a medium saucepan, gently warm the milk over medium heat. Stir occasionally to ensure it doesn’t boil.

2. Add the Nutmeg
   Stir in the freshly grated nutmeg and allow it to infuse the milk for about 2-3 minutes, adding a cosy, spiced warmth to the drink.

3. Melt the Chocolate
   Lower the heat and stir in Prestat’s 38% Milk Chocolate Flakes. Stir continuously until the flakes melt completely, creating a smooth and creamy hot chocolate.

4. Add the Truffles
   Drop in the Prestat Milk Almond Truffles and stir gently until they melt fully, adding a rich, nutty flavour to the hot chocolate.

5. Sweeten (Optional)
   Taste the hot chocolate and, if desired, stir in honey or sugar to your preferred sweetness level.

6. Serve and Garnish
   Pour the nutmeg-spiced hot chocolate into mugs. Top with whipped cream if desired, and garnish with a sprinkle of grated nutmeg for a festive touch.

Serving Suggestion

Serve this nutmeg-spiced hot chocolate with spiced cookies or almond biscotti for the ultimate winter treat.
