Hot chocolate season is officially here, and I’m far too excited about it. Morrisons have brought out a few new flavours, and hiding among them is one of my retro favourites, Black Forest Gateaux Hot Chocolate.
This one’s made with hot milk, and the instructions say three teaspoons per cup. Naturally, I went slightly heaped. I let my trusty hot chocolate mixer do its thing, so it came out lovely and smooth. Honestly, that gadget earns its keep in my kitchen, I drink enough hot chocolate to justify it!
The first sip was full of rich chocolate flavour without being overly sweet. The cherry came through with that fruity, slightly almondy taste that gives it the proper Black Forest vibe.
It’s a really good drink, cosy, chocolatey and satisfying, but I’d have loved a bit more cherry punch. Just a touch more of that sweet-tart zing would have made it sing. Still, I’ll definitely be finishing the tub.
