CHOCOLATE MILKSHAKE

Prep Time: 5 mins Cooking Time: 0 Serves: 2

I grew up on homemade milkshakes. We made them using milk from our two Saanen goats, Nina and Sophie. However, if you don’t have a ready supply of goat’s milk, you can use full-fat organic cow’s milk instead. You can experiment by adding a slice or two of banana, or a handful of raspberries or blackberries, or a few chunks of fresh pineapple? You can vary the amount of cacao and sugar according to your taste.

Ingredients

50g 100% cacao. Suggestion, Indonesian Black 100% Javan Dark Breaking Cacao or Milk of the Gods for children

2 tbsp. raw cane sugar

400ml full-fat organic milk

6 ice cubes

Method

Put the cacao, sugar and half the milk in a saucepan and warm over a moderate heat until just starting to boil, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar and cacao.

Remove from the heat, stir in the remaining milk and leave to stand until cold. Chill in the refrigerator.

Pour the chilled chocolate milk into a blender, add the ice cubes and blitz for about 1 minute, until thoroughly mixed.

Pour into tall chilled glasses and serve with a straw.
