A warming recipe from Jamie Oliver’s first children’s book ‘Billy and the Giant Adventure’.
Serves 8
Total time: 10 minutes
- 2 pints of semi-skimmed milk
Hot chocolate mix
- 2 tablespoons Horlicks (malted milk powder)
- 2 tablespoons cornflour
- 3 tablespoons icing sugar
- 4 tablespoons quality cocoa powder
- 1 pinch of ground cinnamon
- 100g quality dark chocolate (70%)
Method
Pour the milk into a large pan, and bring almost to the boil over a medium heat.
Meanwhile, add all the ingredients to a large jar, finely grating in the chocolate, then give it a good shake to combine.
You need around 10 heaped tablespoons of the chocolate mix for this amount of milk. Simply spoon the chocolate mix into the hot milk, give it a good whisk and leave to bubble away for a few minutes before serving – you’re looking for that gorgeous, thick (almost claggy), knockout texture.
