The perfect Swiss hot chocolate recipe

The so-called ‘Beast from the East’ weather front has hit Switzerland and temperatures dropped to as low as -28.9 degrees Celsius in the canton of Graubünden in the early hours of Monday, the coldest morning of the Swiss winter so far. The cold weather is expected to continue until Friday. After a day of snowfall on Thursday, milder temperatures will arrive at the end of the week.

My suggestion: stay warm and cosy and make yourself a yummy mug of hot Swiss chocolate.

Ingredients for 2 mugs:
3 dl milk
50 gr dark chocolate (Crémant is my favourite), crumbled
sprinkle of cinnamon
sprinkle of sugar, optional
1 dl cream, whipped
Cocoa powder for decoration

Preparation:
1.) Heat the milk, remove from the heat.
2.) Add chocolate, stirring with the whisk until melted.
3.) Add cinnamon and possibly sugar, to taste.
4.) Pour into cups and dollop whipped cream on top, dust with cocoa, serve immediately!
