The Magic Ingredients
Here's what you'll need:
- Dutch-Processed Cocoa Powder: Start with the finest Dutch-processed cocoa powder. Its rich, deep flavour sets the stage for a luxurious experience.
- Granulated Sugar: Adds a touch of sweetness, the perfect balance to complement the rich cocoa.
- Whipping Cream: the secret to creating the velvety texture that elevates this hot chocolate.
- Raspberry & Rose Preserve: The star is our Raspberry & Rose Preserve from the Sweet Collection Trio Box. This preserve elevates the every day with the vibrant notes of raspberry and the subtle hint of rose.
- Boiling Water: Bring all these ingredients together.
- Amber Rum (Optional): For an extra touch of luxury and a hint of warmth, you can add a shot of Amber Rum. It's optional and pairs nicely with the raspberry.
Recipe: Raspberry & Rose Decadent Hot Chocolate - Serves 1
Adapting to Your Preferences: Use your favourite plant-based milk instead of the water and cream combination for a vegan version or a non-dairy creamer and water combination.
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ tbsps of Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- 1 tsp of granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp of whipping cream
- 2 tsp of our Raspberry & Rose Preserve from the Sweet Collection
- 1 cup of boiling water
- 2 tbsp (1 shot) of Amber Rum (optional, we like Appleton).
Directions:
- Start by adding the cocoa powder and sugar to a large mug. Use a small whisk to blend them until no lumps remain.
- Pour in the whipping cream and add the Raspberry & Rose Preserve. Whisk the mixture until it becomes a smooth paste.
- Top off your mixture with the boiling water and whisk it together to create a light froth. Add a shot (2 tablespoons) of Amber Rum if you want an extra indulgence.
- Carry your decadent Raspberry Hot Chocolate in your favourite mug to the best seat in the house, and enjoy it with your favourite book or movie.
