Servings: 1 cup
Calories: 607kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1 bar white chocolate (90 g, 3 oz)
- ½ teaspoon red food colouring - paste
- whipped cream to decorate
Instructions
- Add the milk to a sauce pan and break the chocolate into pieces.
- Bring it to a medium heat and stir until the chocolate melts and the milk is hot, but not boiling.
- Add the red food colouring, and mix well to disolve
- Top with cream.
Notes
- I highly recommend using good quality white chocolate - it might sound like a clique, but the better the quality, the tastier the drink.
- And for the love of Dracula, please don't add any sugar to this hot chocolate, the white chocolate is sweet as it is, and in combination with the naturally-sweet milk, that's more than enough sugar.
- Cream is optional, although it does make the drink look better, and adds a silky touch to the hot chocolate. You can use either whipped cream or squirty cream, that's up to you. Do give this blood hot chocolate a go, you'll love it!
