- Let the mixture cool down a bit. Meanwhile, fill a beautiful mug or glass with ice cubes.
- Pour your chocolate mix over the ice, give it a quick stir, and enjoy the mesmerizing marble effect.
- Finish with a dollop of whipped cream and, if you dare, some extra chocolate shavings or chopped hazelnuts.
Variation tips for endless experimenting
- Vegan vibe: Use almond or oat milk and dark chocolate.
- Caramel lovers, take note: Swap the hazelnut syrup for caramel for a salted caramel twist.
- Espresso boost: Make it twice as strong with two shots of espresso and serve as a dessert.
- Chocolate party for kids: Skip the coffee, add mini marshmallows.
