Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 150 g milk (semi-sweet) chocolate chips
  • 4 tsp kirsch
  • 480 ml milk
  • 2 tbsp cornflour/cornstarch
  • 4 tbsp whipped cream
  • 8 kirsch cherries (from a jar of cherries soaked in kirsch, threaded onto two cocktail sticks)
  • 2 tbsp hazelnuts (roughly chopped)

Instruction

  • Place the cocoa powder, sugar, chocolate chips, kirsch, and milk in a small saucepan. Heat over a low heat, stirring slowly until the chocolate is melted and the liquid is hot, but not boiling.
  • Mix the cornflour with four tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl to make a slurry.
  • With the hot chocolate still over the heat, slowly pour in the cornflour mixture a little at a time, whilst stirring with a whisk, until you get a thick, but pourable consistency (like custard).
  • Pour the hot chocolate into two cups and spoon on the whipped cream. Sprinkle on the chopped hazelnuts and place a cocktail stick with the cherries on top. Serve immediately.
