White Hot Chocolate 

There's something so luxurious about a classic white chocolate drink, with a subtle hint of sweetness this is the ultimate decadent treat that only takes 1-2 minutes to make and a couple of minutes to decorate. 

You can also completely customise this drink by choosing your own choice of dairy whether that's semi-skimmed milk or a milk alternative. 

For this recipe, we've chosen to use semi-skimmed, however, for a great twist we thoroughly recommend coconut milk or oat milk. 

We've also chosen to top our drinking chocolate with squirty cream and some fantastic decorations.

Hot Chocolate Ingredients: 

• 10g Skinny Food Co Chocaholic White Chocolate Spread
• 250ml Semi Skimmed Milk (or milk alternative of choice such as Coconut, Oat or Almond Milk)
• Splash of Green Food Colouring 
• Red Food Coloured Icing 
• Whipped Cream for Topping 

How To Make Grinch Hot Chocolate 

Step 1: Using a tall latte glass, add the White Chocolate Spread to the bottom of the glass. 

Step 2:  Make your hot milk, this can be done by using a milk frother if you have one to hand, or alternatively you can also warm your milk in a medium saucepan placed on medium heat on the hob. Be cautious not to burn your milk as this will alter the end result taste. 

Step 3: To make your hot chocolate green, we added green food colouring and stirred until combined. 

Step 4: Take your red icing sugar and create droplet effects around your glass 

Step 5: Top with whipped cream, icing eyes & angry eyebrows using black icing.
