I’ve been having the most fun during these past couple of weeks, creating the most indulgent hot chocolate recipes. Home-schooling on the other hand has been absolutely miserable. That paired with random loadshedding and water cuts can literally make one lose their mind.
Today I’m sharing a delicious tiramisu hot chocolate. This has expresso, chocolate, marscapone and lady fingers. If you’re having a bad day/week this will surely help raise your spirits.
It’s like a hug from the inside, pure magic! I’ve added in dark chocolate because I enjoy the bitter taste, you can opt for white chocolate or milk chocolate if that’s what you enjoy. The best part about this recipe is that you can adapt it to what you have in your pantry.
I’ll he sharing more of my go-to quick and simple pantry bakes and meal ideas on my feed. Which I hope you’ll enjoy 😉.
