Ingredients

(Serves 2)

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

Method

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

2. Melt the Chocolate
   Once the milk is warm, lower the heat and stir in the Prestat 38% Milk Chocolate Flakes. Stir continuously until the chocolate flakes melt completely, creating a smooth and creamy base.

3. Add the Nutmeg and Truffles
   Stir in the ground nutmeg to give the hot chocolate a cosy, spiced flavour. Then, add the Prestat Milk Almond Truffles, stirring gently until they melt fully into the hot chocolate, adding a rich, nutty depth.

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

5. Serve and Garnish
   Pour the almond-spiced hot chocolate into mugs. Top with whipped cream, and garnish with grated nutmeg or a sprinkle of crushed almonds for a finishing touch.

Serving Suggestion

Serve this almond-spiced hot chocolate with almond biscotti or shortbread for a comforting and luxurious winter treat.
