Whittard of Chelsea Orange Hot Chocolate

Product Information

If you're looking to make your hot cocoa dairy-free, there are a few substitutions you can make. Use dairy-free chocolate and milk in place of their traditional counterparts. This will help you create a delicious treat that’s perfect for anyone who is lactose intolerant. Milk: Use full-fat milk for a creamy hot chocolate. You can use other milk types like semi-skinned milk or even plant-based milk alternatives. Some of my favourites include adding vanilla extract, honey and maple syrup. These additions add a depth of flavour that takes the drink to a whole new level. Hot Chocolate With Orange Extract Sugar - Optional. I think hot chocolate should be on the sweet side, and the entire recipe only calls for two tablespoons, but you can definitely omit it if you want.

The key to getting the best from the recipe is to use fresh orange juice. You can even swap out the chocolate or the type of milk to vary it or to make it suitable for anyone with allergies. Ingredients & Substitutions The longer you rest the milk with the orange peels, the stronger the citrusy flavour will get. You can taste after 10-15 minutes and if you prefer it punchier let the peels infuse more. If you don’t like hot chocolates that are too sweet, use their dark chocolate orange instead of milk. Bear in mind that their dark chocolate orange is quite lite. Pure Orange Hot ChocolateBelow is a step-by-step guide on how to make orange hot chocolate with Terry’s chocolate orange. Full recipe instructions are on the recipe card. Using white chocolate orange will make this hot chocolate really sweet! Try the hot chocolate first before adding extra sugar.

Milk - Any kind! I almost always use almond milk or oat milk for all of my recipes, but any milk will do. Yep! Again, I'd opt for dark chocolate or at least semi sweet over milk chocolate. Can this be prepped in advance? They’re my favourite hot chocolate brand and help create an easy chocolate orange flavour. Adding this to Terry’s chocolate orange will create an intense flavour. Recipe Ingredients Terry’s Chocolate Orange: I used the classic Terry’s chocolate orange for this hot chocolate recipe. You can use alternative orange flavoured chocolate brands. Orange juice - Preferably freshly squeezed; The recipe calls for two tablespoons, but you can adjust it based on your personal preference. MethodThis orange hot chocolate is a fun spin on traditional hot chocolate. Plus, in my opinion, the chocolate-orange combination isn't utilized enough.

Orange Extract (Optional): Add orange extract for a strong orange flavour. If you’re using plain chocolate, you can add orange extract to create a chocolate orange taste.

To make ahead, store the hot chocolate in an airtight container or glass jar and keep in the fridge for up to 2 days. You may find a few pieces of chocolate have solidified in the fridge (this will melt again once reheated).
