Hot Almond Chocolate | Recipe

You wanted to get out. You had to get out. Away from the confines of your four walls, away from your laptop, your deadlines, and the sound of the dishwasher. Your brain felt like a prison, too. No fresh thought had entered your head for hours.

Now you're here, in a nameless forest on the outskirts of the city: finally outside, finally free. You breathe in the cold air, and it burns wonderfully in your lungs. The path winds through the countless shades of brown and green of the trees and bushes. Early hoarfrost freezes the grass.

You walk along the path. After a while, the path walks you. Your thoughts open up, becoming bold and unexpected. You feel yourself again. The cold of the ground penetrates your sneakers.

As you make your way home, an image takes shape in your mind's eye: your sofa, your favorite person, and a steaming, fragrant cup of hot almond chocolate... Here's the recipe:

This is what you need:

• 70 ml cream

• 130 ml milk

• 30 g chocolate (milk or dark)

• 1 tsp powdered sugar

• 2 tsp cocoa powder

• 1 tbsp Amaretto

• Almond flakes

• Small marshmallows

It's that easy:

1. Whip 35 g of cream until creamy and set aside.

2. Boil the milk with the other half of the cream.

3. Add chocolate pieces and melt over low heat while stirring.

4. Add powdered sugar and cocoa to the pot and stir well.

5. Pour the Amaretto into the cup. Pour the hot chocolate over it.

6. Top with creamy whipped cream, marshmallows and flaked almonds.
