Hello everyone, here’s an indulgent chocolate drink to enjoy on this wet and rainy evening! Following on from last week’s Costa Coffee copy - and in true lockdown style - if you can’t buy it, then make it! So some online shopping resulted in some 70% Green & Black’s, a large organic orange, more squirty cream, and of course, some Terry’s Chocolate Orange!
I grated the zest of half the orange into a pan of local whole farm milk....and everso slowly heated it through to nearly simmering. I let it do this for about 20 mins so that the orange flavour really infused with the milk. I then melted chunks of the Green & Blacks chocky into the milk along with a heaped teaspoon of my absolute favourite organic 100% cocoa powder - I always have a stash of this in the cupboard as it gives any chocky dish a deep rich flavour! I heated it all through to a nice smooth consistency and then poured it into the glasses. I finished it off with some squirty cream, a dusting of Cadbury’s cocoa powder, a few shavings of orange zest and finished it off with some...Terry’s Chocolate Orange mini bites and a big segment from the “Orange” on the side of the glass! My son swigged his down rather swiftly and my daughter poured hers into a flask and disappeared off to the park with the dog to meet a friend. It was rather delicious! I sat and savoured mine whilst watching the rain streaming down the windows and listening to it beat on the flat roof off the conservatory.

Have a nice weekend y’all! 🍫 🍊 ☕️
