Hot chocolate milkshakes

An indulgent and warming treat that neither kids nor grown-ups will be able to resist

  • 200g plain chocolate (we used 70% cocoa)
  • 600ml full-fat milk
  • vanilla ice cream
  • mini marshmallows
  • a nip of rum or brandy for the adults (optional)

    Method

    1. Break 200g plain chocolate (I used 70% cocoa) into cubes and put into a pan with 600ml full-fat milk. Gently heat until the chocolate melts, then bring almost to the boil, whisking regularly until even and smooth. Can be made ahead, then chilled for up to 2 days.
    2. Re-heat if necessary, whisking, then ladle or pour into heatproof glasses or mugs. Top with scoops vanilla ice cream and mini marshmallows. Add a nip of rum or brandy for the adults, if you like.
