But we're not talking about just any hot chocolate; we're talking about a rich and indulgent Barti Rum Caramel Hot Chocolate. This recipe brings together velvety hot chocolate and a boozy cream topping for the ultimate boozy experience!
Ingredients:
For the Hot Chocolate:
- 450ml milk
- 4 tablespoons of Crwst's Hot Chocolate blend
For the Boozy Cream Topping:
- 100ml double cream
- A couple of spoons of Barti Rum Caramel (adjust to taste)
Extra Touch (Optional):
- Barti Rum Caramel, for an ultimate boozy hot chocolate
Tools You'll Need:
- Saucepan
- Whisk
- Separate bowl
Method:
1. Perfect Hot Chocolate:
- Begin by pouring 450ml of milk into a saucepan.
- Place the saucepan over low heat and gently warm the milk while stirring occasionally. It's important not to let the milk come to a boil; we're aiming for the perfect, soothing temperature.
- Keep an eye out for small bubbles forming at the sides of the pan. These gentle bubbles indicate that the milk has reached the ideal temperature for your hot chocolate.
- Once you see those bubbles, take the saucepan off the heat.
2. Infusing:
- Whisk in 4 tablespoons of Crwst's hot chocolate blend into the warmed milk. Make sure the hot chocolate blend is fully whisked in, resulting in a velvety and smooth mixture.
3. Prepare the Boozy Cream Topping:
- In a separate bowl, start by whisking up 100ml of double cream. *For a boozy twist* add a couple of spoons of Barti Rum Caramel. Whisk with purpose until you achieve soft peaks; the cream should be thick yet airy.
5. Assembling Your Masterpiece:
- Pour the hot chocolate into your favourite mugs! Dollop a spoonful of the boozy cream topping onto the hot chocolate.
7. Elevate with an Extra Touch (Optional):
- Feeling a bit adventurous? Drizzle in an extra spoonful of Barti Rum Caramel directly into your hot chocolate. This adds an extra layer of that unmistakable boozy kick!
