RECIPE - Indulgent White Hot Chocolate

Recently I've had a real sweet tooth. That annoying voice that starts out as a whisper, "Buy some biscuits...bake a cake..." that becomes a shout "MAKE HOT CHOCOLATE! PROPER HOT CHOCOLATE! NOW!" In fear for my life (as this voice was quite threatening) I headed to Asda for the appropriate ingredients.

YOU WILL NEED

100g white chocolate

1/ 3 cup double cream

1/ 3 cup milk

1/ 3 cup vanilla flavour milk

If you can't find vanilla flavour milk, DO NOT opt for a cheap vanilla milkshake - they taste synthetic and probably too sweet for this recipe. Instead, just use 2/ 3 cup milk and add a dash of vanilla essence. This aint an American recipe, by the way, I just think it's easier to measure something served in a cup in the cup itself!

1. Break up 100g of white chocolate.

2. Pour the milk and vanilla milk into a pan and heat gently. Don't boil it, just warm it up.

3. Once your milk mix has warmed up, throw in the chocolate chunks. Stir constantly so that they don't get stuck to the bottom and burn!

4. Once the chocolate has melted, stir in the double cream. Heat for a little while longer, then pour back into the cup and enjoy!

This is a really creamy, rich hot chocolate which is perfect for an after dinner treat. If you're not too fond of white chocolate, just swap it for milk or dark - no problem.
