Ingredients

(Serves 2)

• 400ml whole milk (or your preferred milk alternative)
• 100g Prestat 38% Milk Chocolate Flakes
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• ¼ tsp ground ginger
• ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
• 2 Prestat Milk Gingerbread Truffles
• 1 tbsp sugar or honey (optional, for added sweetness)
• Whipped cream (optional, for serving)
• Crushed gingerbread cookies (optional, for garnish)

Method

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

2. Add the Spices
   Stir in the ground cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg, and let the spices infuse the milk for 2-3 minutes.

3. Melt the Chocolate
   Lower the heat and stir in Prestat’s 38% Milk Chocolate Flakes, whisking until the flakes melt completely into the spiced milk, creating a rich, smooth hot chocolate.

4. Add the Truffles
   Drop in the Milk Gingerbread Truffles and stir until they melt fully, infusing the drink with a delicious gingerbread flavour.

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 gingerbread-spiced hot chocolate into mugs. Top with whipped cream if desired, and garnish with crushed gingerbread cookies for extra festive flair.
