Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate and Garnish
- 50g dark chocolate
- 1 tbsp pistachios, chopped
- A few mini marshmallows (vegetarian, if needed)
Drink
- 150–200ml milk of your choice
- 1–2 tsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp pistachio paste
Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate: Microwave the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl in short bursts, stirring between each, until it is fully melted and smooth.
- Prepare the Mug: Dip the edge of your serving mug into the melted chocolate, then immediately dip it into a plate of chopped pistachios so they stick to the rim, creating a flavorful crust.
- Heat the Milk: Warm the milk gently either on the stovetop in a pan over low heat or in the microwave until hot but not boiling.
- Combine Ingredients: Stir the remaining melted chocolate into the hot milk along with the brown sugar and pistachio paste until thoroughly combined and smooth.
- Serve: Pour the hot chocolate into the pistachio-coated mug, top with mini marshmallows and sprinkle with any remaining chopped pistachios for an added crunch and flavor boost.
Notes
- Use any type of milk you prefer, including dairy-free options such as almond or oat milk.
- Adjust the amount of brown sugar to your preferred sweetness level.
- Vegetarian mini marshmallows ensure the drink can be tailored to dietary preferences.
- For a stronger pistachio flavor, increase the pistachio paste slightly.
- If you don’t have a microwave, melt the chocolate over a double boiler.
