Let's get into the details for this Hazelnut Praline Hot Chocolate

The hot chocolate starts out with the Praline powder. Pralines are a confection of French origin made of nuts covered in caramel. Usually Almonds and hazelnuts are used. 

For this recipe,  I used toasted hazelnuts, which love as they are so moreish.  Place the nuts on a baking sheet lined baking or greaseproof paper in a single layer.

Next comes the caramel. Add sugar and water to a saucepan and melt over medium heat until the sugar begins caramelise and becomes a deep amber colour. 

Immediately pour the caramel over the nuts and leave the praline to cool until hardened.

Once the praline has hardened, break into pieces. Grind into a fine powder in a food processor or coffee grinder. Transfer to a jar airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to 1 month or freeze for up to 6 months. 

Now you can use the praline to make the most velvety luxurious hot chocolate you have ever had.

Tips for the perfect Hot Chocolate

Use a variety of chocolate for an elevated taste.

Add cream for a more creamy hot chocolate.

Slowly heat your base.

Melt the chocolate separately so it keeps it’s smooth velvety texture.

Frost the hot chocolate with a milk frother for an even more smooth velvety texture.
