Prep time
10 mins
Ingredients
- Dark Chocolate: 100g dark chocolate, chopped
- Sunflower Oil: sunflower oil, for greasing
- Sea Salt: flaky sea salt
- Cinnamon Sticks: 4 cinnamon sticks
- Milk Chocolate: 50g milk chocolate, chopped
- String: cellophane and twine or string, for wrapping
- Cases: 4 muffin cases
- Pots: 4 empty 47g fromage frais pots, washed and dried
- Mugs: 4 mugs
- Gift Tags: gift tags and pen, for labelling
Directions
- Very lightly grease the fromage frais pots with oil and set aside until needed.
- Melt the milk chocolate in a bowl set over a pan of just-simmering water, stirring occasionally, then divide between the prepared pots. Place in the fridge or a cold place for around 30 mins or until set.
- Once the milk chocolate layer is firm, melt the dark chocolate in a bowl as before, then pour it over the milk chocolate. Leave the pots to set for 15 mins, then sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt onto each.
- Cut a hole in the bottom of each paper cake case and push a cinnamon stick through. Push the end of the stick into the middle of each pot so that the paper case is upside down - it will help to hold the cinnamon stick in place while it sets.
- Leave to set overnight, then turn out and discard the pot and paper case. Wrap each in cellophane tied with twine. Tie each stick to a mug, or simply place inside the mug, and write a tag to read 'Just add hot milk'.
