Ingredients

(Serves 2)

• 400ml almond milk (or your preferred milk alternative)
• 100g Prestat 38% Milk Chocolate Flakes
• 1 Prestat Dark Sea Salt Caramel Truffle
• 1 Prestat Milk Almond Truffle
• 1 tbsp sugar or honey (optional, for added sweetness)
• Whipped cream (optional, for serving)
• Crushed almonds or a sprinkle of sea salt (optional, for garnish)

Method

1. Heat the Almond Milk
   In a medium saucepan, gently heat the almond milk over medium heat. Stir occasionally, making sure it doesn’t boil.

2. Melt the Chocolate
   Lower the heat and stir in the Prestat 38% Milk Chocolate Flakes. Stir continuously until the flakes melt completely, creating a smooth, creamy base.

3. Add the Truffles
   Drop in the Prestat Dark Sea Salt Caramel and Milk Almond truffles. Stir until they melt fully into the hot chocolate, infusing the drink with a rich, nutty, and salty-sweet flavour.

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

5. Serve and Garnish
   Pour the hot chocolate into mugs. Top with whipped cream if desired, and garnish with crushed almonds or a small sprinkle of sea salt for extra texture and flavour.

Serving Suggestion

Pair this luxurious salted caramel and almond hot chocolate with almond biscotti or a caramel-drizzled dessert for an extra indulgent experience.
