Preparation

How to prepare Hot Chocolate with Caramel Toffee

To prepare the milk hot chocolate, start with the caramel: in a heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour the sugar 1 and the water (2-3),

then bring to a boil over medium heat without stirring 4. When the mixture takes on an amber color, not too dark, remove the saucepan from the heat (or turn off the heat) and slowly pour the fresh liquid cream, little by little 5, stirring with a whisk. Be careful to add the cream gradually as indicated, paying attention to the steam and bubbles that will form 6. Set aside a couple of tablespoons of toffee sauce for decoration.

Chop the milk chocolate 7. Return the saucepan with the remaining toffee sauce to medium heat 8 and add the milk 9,

stirring continuously with a whisk 10, then also add the cornstarch 11. Bring to a boil and the mixture will thicken in a few moments. Then turn off the heat and add the chopped chocolate 12.

Stir again 13, add a pinch of salt 14, and your caramel hot chocolate is ready 15.

Whip the cream with beaters (16-17) and place it in a piping bag. Pour the chocolate into a cup 18

and garnish with whipped cream (19-20) and a tablespoon of toffee sauce set aside earlier 21. Your caramel toffee hot chocolate is ready to be served!
