The Ultimate Hot Chocolate
By whisking a generous dollop of our award-winning Devonshire Clotted Cream into your drink, you create a silkiness that you simply can’t get with milk alone. It’s thick, rich, and udderly delicious!
Ingredients (Serves 2)
500ml whole milk (Jersey or Guernsey milk is best if you can get it!)
100g high-quality dark chocolate (60% to 70% cocoa solids), finely chopped
2 large tablespoons of Langage Farm Devonshire Clotted Cream (plus extra for the top!)
A pinch of sea salt
Optional: A drizzle of salted caramel or a dusting of cocoa powder
Method
Heat the Milk: In a small saucepan, gently heat the milk over a medium flame until it begins to simmer. Do not let it reach a rolling boil.
Melt the Chocolate: Turn the heat down to low and add your chopped chocolate. Whisk continuously until the chocolate has completely melted into the milk.
The Langage Secret: Add two heaped tablespoons of Langage Farm Clotted Cream and a tiny pinch of salt. Whisk vigorously until the cream has incorporated and the mixture looks frothy and thick.
Serve: Pour into your favourite mugs.
The Finishing Touch: Because we believe in “Cream First” here in Devon, top each mug with another dollop of cold clotted cream. It will slowly melt into the hot chocolate, creating a marbled, velvety dream.
