Whittard of Chelsea Orange Hot Chocolate

Product Information

Terry’s Chocolate Orange: I used the classic Terry’s chocolate orange for this hot chocolate recipe. You can use alternative orange flavoured chocolate brands. I like to serve it a little more bitter, because I love to top my hot chocolate with either sweet marshmallows or sweet whipped cream to balance it out. Just like I do my Mexican hot chocolate. If so, I use 7 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder. Orange juice - Preferably freshly squeezed; The recipe calls for two tablespoons, but you can adjust it based on your personal preference. Method

Fresh orange juice gives the best results to this hot drink. You can also get pre-squeezed fresh juice from the store but be careful that it doesn’t have any additions to it. They’re my favourite hot chocolate brand and help create an easy chocolate orange flavour. Adding this to Terry’s chocolate orange will create an intense flavour. Recipe Ingredients

Are there any other classic and fab combinations I'm missing out? Let me know in the comments. Sometimes great combinations can be surprising too, like strawberry + basil and pomegranate + any meat (try it in this recipe!). I'm sure you'll find your next favorite combination in this list. Enjoy! Orange Extract (Optional): Add orange extract for a strong orange flavour. If you’re using plain chocolate, you can add orange extract to create a chocolate orange taste. Orange - Freshly squeezed orange juice works best in the recipe. Plus you can use the same orange to grate some zest to garnish your drink and add the rinds to the milk. Chocolate - For the best results, use high quality dark chocolate, semi sweet chocolate, or even chocolate chips. Just make sure whatever chocolate you use is of good quality! When you’re ready, reheat the hot chocolate in the microwave until hot or over the stove. Stir occasionally whilst reheating, then pour into your mug and enjoy! How To Make This Recipe Vegan

Indulgent Treat: January – it doesn’t have to be all about salads. There is nothing better, NOTHING better than warming up with some hot chocolate after being out in the snow. Hot chocolate is a perfect beverage following snowman building and snow angel making. Use can use vegan chocolate and add a quarter teaspoon of orange extract. Another alternative is to mix cocoa powder with orange extract to recreate the chocolate orange flavour. But the best option would be to buy vegan chocolate orange like this one. The good news, you can make this amazing orange hot chocolate vegan! The bad news, Terry’s chocolate orange isn’t vegan – but not to worry! The key to getting the best from the recipe is to use fresh orange juice. You can even swap out the chocolate or the type of milk to vary it or to make it suitable for anyone with allergies. Ingredients & Substitutions This orange hot chocolate is a fun spin on traditional hot chocolate. Plus, in my opinion, the chocolate-orange combination isn't utilized enough.Sugar - Optional. I think hot chocolate should be on the sweet side, and the entire recipe only calls for two tablespoons, but you can definitely omit it if you want. If you don’t like hot chocolates that are too sweet, use their dark chocolate orange instead of milk. Bear in mind that their dark chocolate orange is quite lite. Pure Orange Hot Chocolate
