When we get home after the arrival of Sinterklaas, there is a surprise waiting for us, Gran has made hot chocolate for us. A very tasty hot chocolate, as it has been made in Great Britain for a long time. There is also candy and toasted marshmallows. So yummie, the monsters do a little dance of joy, partyyy!
How to make classic British hot chocolate
Pour the water and sugar in a saucepan.
Measure the cocoa and add it to the sugar-water.
Stir it together until it is smooth and combined.
Place the pan on low heat and bring it to a simmer.
Let the mixture simmer very softly, for 2 minutes
Chop the chocolate into pieces.
Remove the mixture from the heat.
Beat in the chocolate pieces until smooth.
Let the mixture sit on low heat for another minute, stirring until the chocolate has completely melted
Pour the hot chocolate into the glasses.
Beat the cream with the sugar until stiff.
Pipe the cream on top of the hot chocolate.
Sprinkle the cream with grated chocolate.
Our favorite Sinterklaas movie is waiting for us!
