We put the decadent flavours of a Sachertorte cake in a mug: Old school-style hot cocoa with melted chocolate, whipped cream and apricot jam. Magic!
Ingredients
- 3 cups (750 ml) milk
- 1 2/3 cups (400 ml) 35% cream
- 1/4 tsp ground cardamom

- 1/2 lb (225 g) dark chocolate, chopped
- 1/3 cup (75 ml) apricot jam
Instructions
- In a pot over medium heat, bring the milk, 1 cup (250 ml) of the cream and the spices to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Add the chocolate and whisk until melted and smooth.
