A mug of Hot chocolate poured on three layers of buttery shortbread, Gooey caramel and silky chocolate. All these yummy ingredients make this drink extra special. There is no doubt these winters warmer drinks are incredibly delicious and hard to resist.
It's that magical, wonderful time of the year and time to add a touch of magic to your home. Time to immerse in the world of festive and time to decorate every nook and cranny with merriment. So hey guys, how's your prep going on and is your Christmas tree is up?
According to the British tradition, the Christmas tree should be up by the beginning of Advent, which was on Sunday 3rd of December.
While boxes of Christmas tree and its decorations were brought out by my dad from the garage, I and my mum decide to make this so addictive Homemade Billionaire's hot chocolate and Latte to bring that Christmasy atmosphere in and around the house.
The freezing weather outside and hot cocoa brings festivity in you.
A few months back in the UK, a popular coffee chain Costa unveiled their Billionaire's shortbread flavoured hot chocolate and latte on their Christmas menu. These delicious drinks are made with a classic confection of gooey and chocolaty Billionaires Shortbread.
I tried this drink for the first time from the coffee shop and since then, I wanted to have a go at recreating it at home.
A special treat like, Billionaire's hot chocolate and Latte is fun to make at home with friends and family. Rich and sumptuous Billionaire's makes this delectable sipper a special switch from traditional hot chocolate and latte. They can be whipped up in no time, topped with freshly whipped cream and shortbread crumbs and it doesn't get much better. Oh-so-delicious!
Enjoy this intensely comforting warm mug of hot chocolate or latte on a cold snowy evening and curb your cold-weather cravings. I bet it will be the best part of your holiday season. My recipe shows you how easily you can duplicate the taste of famous brands at home in an inexpensive way.
Notes:-
Although I prepared Hot chocolate and Latte in my coffee machine, I am giving you recipe which can be made on stove or M/W.
