Best hot chocolate recipe ever

OK, this one is going to take some time. If you want the best, you can’t expect it to come out of an instant hot chocolate mix or bung a bit of cocoa with warm milk, Sera. No you cannot. Ever at the forefront of innovative chocolate, Pascal Javier has created a doozy. Best to start on a Saturday and reward yourself on Sunday. In bed. With pastries. Because it’s cold outside.
