About this deal

Using white chocolate orange will make this hot chocolate really sweet! Try the hot chocolate first before adding extra sugar. Cocoa powder - No substitution; make sure to use unsweetened cocoa powder or cacao powder works too.

Milk - Any kind! I almost always use almond milk or oat milk for all of my recipes, but any milk will do. Dark chocolate - I used 70% dark chocolate; feel free to use whatever chocolate you want depending on the kind you like. Below is a step-by-step guide on how to make orange hot chocolate with Terry’s chocolate orange. Full recipe instructions are on the recipe card. The longer you rest the milk with the orange peels, the stronger the citrusy flavour will get. You can taste after 10-15 minutes and if you prefer it punchier let the peels infuse more.Orange juice - Preferably freshly squeezed; The recipe calls for two tablespoons, but you can adjust it based on your personal preference. Method Taste, do you find it too bitter? Add in a little more sugar. Too sweet? - more unsweetened cocoa powder. If you find it too flavorful and rich - more milk. It's impossible to ruin this delicious cup of orange hot chocolate! Strain it into four (or two large!) cups to avoid drinking the zest.

If you don’t like hot chocolates that are too sweet, use their dark chocolate orange instead of milk. Bear in mind that their dark chocolate orange is quite lite. Pure Orange Hot Chocolate I mostly use Terry’s milk chocolate orange, but you can also use their white chocolate orange or dark chocolate version too.Orange Extract (Optional): Add orange extract for a strong orange flavour. If you’re using plain chocolate, you can add orange extract to create a chocolate orange taste. Second: Make the hot chocolate. Once the chocolate has melted, add the remaining ingredients (cocoa powder, sugar, vanilla, and orange juice), and stir everything together. Heat over low for 3-5 minutes, or until it's warmed to your liking. Use can use vegan chocolate and add a quarter teaspoon of orange extract. Another alternative is to mix cocoa powder with orange extract to recreate the chocolate orange flavour. But the best option would be to buy vegan chocolate orange like this one. I like to serve it a little more bitter, because I love to top my hot chocolate with either sweet marshmallows or sweet whipped cream to balance it out. Just like I do my Mexican hot chocolate. If so, I use 7 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder.

You don’t have to add pieces of chocolate to this recipe to make orange flavoured hot chocolate. You can use natural ingredients like orange extract or orange peel. Simmer the orange peels with the milk and then let them infuse. The longer you rest the milk, the stronger the citrusy flavour will get. Remove the rind. This orange hot chocolate is a fun spin on traditional hot chocolate. Plus, in my opinion, the chocolate-orange combination isn't utilized enough. If you love Costa’s Terry’s chocolate orange hot chocolate, then you love this recipe too! It’s a simple drink that you can make in the comfort of your own home and it’s a lot cheaper. Sugar - You don’t need to add sugar but I like my hot chocolate on the sweet side so I always add some.

Method

Fun to Share: I have a small mug, a little bigger than an espresso mug,that my daughter drinks cocoa out of. It’s such a special treat and she just glows and smiles ear-to-ear when she gets to enjoy a cup of cocoa with her mom and dad. Yes; however, this is a single-serve hot chocolate recipe. If you want to double, triple or even quadruple the recipe, you can adjust the serving size in the recipe card where it says "serving size". It's hard to explain, but some combinations of flavors just work better than others. Orange and chocolate are definitely one of those, hence why I adore this dark chocolate orange cakeand coconut cupcakes with the same frosting too. Other winning combinations are A delicious hot chocolate recipe that just so happens to be dairy-free (as long as you use dairy-free chocolate and milk :)) Winter is made for hot chocolate, and I can’t survive the cold weather without one ( or two)! It warms you up and provides the ultimate level of coziness.

You can also keep it simple by dusting lots of cocoa powder and a dash of orange zest (that's how I did it). If you have, place some candied orange slices too. Plus, it’s perfect for Christmas! After all, it’s hard to go by the festive season without receiving a box of Terry’s chocolate orange. Making this hot chocolate drink is the perfect way to use it up. Why You’ll Like This Recipe Simply add a large strip of orange peel to the milk and heat in a pan until it starts to steam. Then add cocoa power, mix and remove the orange peel. Pour the hot chocolate into a cup and enjoy. You can keep the orange peel in for a stronger infused flavour.

Tips and tricks

Fresh orange juice gives the best results to this hot drink. You can also get pre-squeezed fresh juice from the store but be careful that it doesn’t have any additions to it. First: Melt the chocolate. Begin by adding the chopped dark chocolate and the milk to a saucepan, whisking frequently over medium heat until the chocolate has melted, being careful that it doesn't burn.
